What reviewers say
“It was Wine Wednesday at The Backyard in San Diego (half off bottles of wine) and I ordered a whole bottle to myself to pair with my prime rib dip. I had already been drinking all day and this wine sent me from browned to pitch blacked by the end of the meal.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Young, vibrant and balanced, this deep red wine with purplish shades boasts ripe red fruits such as raspberry, blackberry and plum. A fresh floral profile of lavender and spicy peppery notes testify as to the wild aspect of the variety. A very expressive and pleasant wine

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Altos del Plata Malbec lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · Argentina (482 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 7,461.
