Natalie's Score: 89/100

A fleshy ripe malbec with a touch of dark spice on the finish. Full-bodied and smooth. Great price for such quality. This wine was matured in French oak for 1 year. Lovely cedar and spice on the finish. Try it tonight with asado, the traditional Argentine outdoor barbecue, usually with beef.

Malbec food pairings: turkey, tomato sauces, meaty casseroles, hamburgers, steak and kidney pie.

Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A dark garnet red Malbec with light Damson plums on the nose. The palate gives lots of Damson plums, vanilla and oak. Dry, fairly tannic mouthfeel with a long plummy finish.
The Uco Valley of the Mendoza region is where the vines are planted at more than 1000 metres above sea level. The label symbolized the Andes Mountains. The Zuccardi Q grapes are sourced from the La Consulta and Vista Flores vineyards. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
