Familia Zuccardi, Mendoza (Argentina) 2010

Oct 1, 2013

By

This wine is what the Familia Zuccardi considers a classic blend of Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon, and from two classic areas of Mendoza.  The Malbec from La Consulta composes 83% of the blend, and the Cabernet Sauvignon from Gualtallary composes 17% of the blend.  The wine is a vibrant color.  The nose has black cherry and cassis fruit complemented by violet and rose floral notes, mineral, and leather.  The palate has forward fruit but opens to mineral and high-toned floral.  The wine is well-structured with grip and freshness to support the fruit.  The finish is long and fruity with a mineral streak.
