I just caught wind of Cedar Creek’s latest Platinum label addition, the Platinum Reserve ‘07 Malbec, and I’m thrilled. It has just been bottled a couple weeks back, and once released, there will only be 99 cases available. John Schreiner has hailed it one of the best BC Malbecs and scored it a big 95 points. Mr. Schreiner’s full write up:

The Platinum offerings include a Platinum Reserve Malbec 2007, the winery’s first. Not yet released, this is well worth waiting for. It is one of the best Malbecs I have tasted in British Columbia (or in Argentina). The wine begins with an aroma of spice, violets and lavendar that explodes from the glass. On the palate, there are flavours of black cherry, spicy dark plum and chocolate. The wine is rich and generous in texture with a satisfying finish that never seems to end. 95
