Zuccardi, Mendoza (Argentina) Malbec 2012

Oct 15, 2013

By

Characteristic Malbec color of dark, dense magenta-purple center and a magenta-pink rim which causes heavy staining in the tears.  This is an aromatic wine with pretty violet floral and baking spice notes. The palate is plush with ripe plum, blueberry, raspberry, and currant notes; a mix of red and black fruits that provides interest.  The meaty density, creamy texture, and moderate tannins provide a counterpoint to fresh acidity.  Herbal and mineral notes enliven the long finish.
