Description
93 points Tim Atkin, MW: “Named after Sebastián Zuccardi’s legendary father, José, this is a richer, more traditional style of Uco red that combines Malbec with 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged in older wood for two years. Serious and dense, with sinewy tannins, taut acidity and a patina of wood spice. 2020-30. (2019)”
93 points Wine & Spirits: “[$45 list] Sebastián Zuccardi makes this cuvée to honor the style his father, José, developed in the early 2000s. Malbec grown in Altamira provides the lush, powerful fruit of the wine while a small addition of cabernet sauvignon adds notes of fir tree and pencil lead. It feels generous and regal, structured by mineral tannins, with a hint of spicy alcohol adding extra force. This is built for a thick-cut grass-fed steak. (Oct 2019)”
92 points Wine Spectator: “[$45 list] Big, with robust flavors of dried raspberry, cherry tart and red currant that are well-framed. The juicy finish is backed by lively acidity, lingering with minerally snap and hints of white pepper. Drink now through 2025. (8/31/20)”
