Extremely deep intense purple colour. Slightly spicy, cedar-tinged, ripe plum, baked cherry nose with some sandalwood notes. Dry, medium bodied, slightly spicy, plummy, ripe cherry flavours with a lingering, slightly cedary finish. This new bottling with with lot number Lot 175/15 24/06/15 on the back label is a somewhat drier repeat (3 vs. 8 g/L residual sugar) of the recommended 2012 (**) released on November 8, 2014 at $17.95. |

A Vintage Assessments Explorer's Selection! |
Although it doesn't say so on the front label (the team at Zolo being masters of understatement), this wine is sourced from a single vineyard in the Tupungato zone of Mendoza at an elevation of 1,350 metres above sea level. It spends over a year in French oak, adding vanilla and toasty shading to a core of rich dark fruit. |
