Dense and chewy. Good heft, especially w/no oak save old founder. Whole cluster fermentation. Dark blue and black fruit, garrigue.

Beautiful wine with excellent freshness and purity. Zuccardi is steering away from oak use to focus on highlighting their fruit. Great depth and overall deliciousness here. Paired great with pappardelle and lamb ragu.

A great Malbec! Red berries, new oak, white pepper, and barnyard on the nose. Spices and red currant on the palate Sturdy bodied with high alc and round drying tannins. Medium minus acidity.

UPDATE: Reportedly, this is aged entirely in concrete! Thus, my oak nose note is off.

Medium purple. Very light notes of fresh raspberries on the nose. Dry with low acidity and low tannins. Light body, with notes of cooked pear and baked apple, finishing on subtle black currants. Short finish. Might need some more time in bottle to really show it's worth.

I'm not much on Malbec but this was very easy to drink. No paint smell. Just blackberries, graphite, plum that washed down with smooth almost non existent tannins. Very flavorful and effortless Malbec for the 💰
