TASTING NOTE: Tempranillo hasn't achieved the success some thought it would in Argentina, but the Zuccardis have a better handle on this early ripening grape than most other producers. Sourced from Santa Rosa, this is soft and juicy with a hint of fresh tobacco. Less oaky than in the past. Drink: 2014-17. Score - 90 (Tim Atkin, MW, timatkin.com, 2014) Price $ 19.95
Bottle Size 750 mL
