Zuccardi, Serie Q, Malbec, Mendoza, Argentina 2019

“The 2019 Q Malbec is a step up after coming from the Serie A Malbec. This is more specific about the origin, which is Valle de Uco, but they select grapes from Paraje Altamira and Los Chacayes for this bottling, where the soils start to deliver some chalky minerality in the wines. There is contained ripeness and fully developed flavors and aromas. It’s medium to full-bodied with fine, chalky tannins. It matured in concrete and 30% in 500-liter oak barrels.”-92WA
