The wine

Zuccardi Finca Los Membrillos 2019 is an exceptional red wine from the Zuccardi winery, located in the Valle de Uco region, Mendoza, Argentina. This wine is made from grapes from the Los Membrillos estate, a vineyard plot with unique soils that provide a distinctive expression to the wine.

The Finca Los Membrillos 2019 is characterized by its deep ruby ​​red color and intense aromas of ripe black fruits, such as plums and blackberries, accompanied by spicy notes and a subtle touch of minerality. On the palate, it presents a robust structure with firm but well-integrated tannins, and a balanced acidity that gives it freshness and longevity. The aging in French oak barrels for 12 months adds complexity and elegance, providing nuances of vanilla, cocoa and a subtle touch of toast.

This wine shows an elegant and sophisticated profile, ideal to accompany red meat dishes, roasts or aged cheeses. With its excellent aging potential, Zuccardi Finca Los Membrillos 2019 is an outstanding representation of the quality and character of the Uco Valley, reflecting the winery's commitment to excellence and authenticity in every bottle.

Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker and Jancis Robinson

The 2014 and 2015 vintages were not produced, because they were difficult years for the grape, so I tasted the 2016 Finca Los Membrillos, a single-vineyard pure Cabernet Sauvignon that was last bottled in 2013. It comes from a vineyard planted with a massal selection of the grapes that they bought. In 2016, they did a selection of two kinds of soils (in this case, the shallower soils because of the cooler and wetter year), then this was fermented in concrete and matured in oak barrels. These Cab grapes were picked in between picking Malbec grapes, which is not like it was done in the past, when Cab grapes were kept for last, and if you left them too late, they dried out and became very tannic. I think this wine transcends the varietal; yes, there are some spicy and peppery notes and it's balsamic, but it's mostly stony/chalky. It has fine-grained, chalky tannins, typical of the variety and the Altamira soils. This is serious, balanced and has good aging potential in one of the finest (if not the finest) vintages. 3,400 bottles produced. It was bottled in November 2017.

Cassis, spice and dark chocolate. A very serious effort, with substance and structure. Impressively dense and chewy on the finish. At the moment it comes across simply, but it has the fruit concentration to age well.
