Santa Julia Malbec 2018 |
90 Points Wine & Spirits
Familia Zuccardi is a family owned winery started in 1963 when they planted the first vineyard in Maipu, then a desert region, followed in 1973 by a second vineyard in Santa Rosa, another desert.
Color is dark violet and brilliant purple colors. Good complexity in the nose with typical Malbec aromas of ripe fruits such as figs, plums, blackberries and marmalades. Notes of vanilla, tobacco, coffee and chocolate. Full-bodied red wine with sweet tannins, good structure and long finish.

Great Value
Very nice color, aroma and taste. Wife’s name being ‘Julia’ might have had some influence.
Mediocre Malbec
Purchased an entire case of this thinking that it would be as good as a bottle I purchased in the Islands last season...the wine is very tart and harsh on the palate and doesn't ripen when the bottle is left to air. Would not purchase again.
