Familia Zuccardi
Finca Piedra Infinita Malbec Blend
Valle De Uco, Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina
(this wine represents a blend of ten different soils from this property; fermented in concrete, then aged in 80% concrete and 20% used barriques): Bright ruby-red. Sappy, highly complex aromas of currant, plum and tobacco are complicated by a suggestion of soil. A wine of compelling richness and sweetness as well as superb inner-mouth lift, with urgent crushed boysenberry and blackberry fruit flavors accented by a violet note. Wonderfully suave wine with an impression of weightlessness. Finishes broad and unflagging, with fine-grained tannins reaching the front teeth. There's a lingering salinity here from the shallow rocky, chalky soil. Splendid! (Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, July 2018)
