The 2006 Ultra Malbec was 80% aged in French oak for 12 months. It is deep crimson-colored with an enticing perfume of pain grille, pencil lead, mineral, violets, and black cherry. This is followed by a layered wine with plenty of ripe fruit, a firm structure, excellent concentration, and a lengthy, pure finish. Drink it from 2010 to 2017.Importer: TGIC Importers, Woodland Hills, CA; tel. (800) 924-0300; fax (818) 225-5111

Ripe and solid, with a nice range of blueberry, fig and boysenberry fruit layered with sweet toast that carries through on the long, polished finish. Drink now through 2009. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 20,000 cases made, 9,200 cases imported.??–JM??Region: Argentina / Mendoza Select to Add

Kaiken Ultra has emerged as a consistent top-shelf Malbec. This vintage shows power, purity, mineral, ripe fruit and well-applied oak. It’s a generous wine with kirsch and raspberry parfait flavors. It almost makes it to creamy but by holding onto its core acidity it guards overall balance. Unforced but a little forceful; good for those who like a ripe, meaty red wine.——M.S.(12/1/2008)—— 91
