What reviewers say
“The nose is funky barnyard, with a sweaty roast beef quality (and I mean that in the best possible way), with plum and black cherry in the background. Off-dry with medium body and medium-low acidity.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
The El Origen Malbec presents a beautiful dark purple color. This wine offers bright black fruit aromas with light violet notes and a touch of toast. The mouthfeel is full and rich, with ripe, concentrated cassis and sweet spice from light oak aging. This finish is long and lingering, with velvety tannins.

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 Finca el Origen 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 1,741.
