Zorzal Gran Terroir Malbec 2020

The 2020 Malbec Gran Terroir from Gualtallary, Uco Valley, was aged for 16 months in used barrels. Purple in hue. The nose offers vivid notes of violet, sour cherry, fresh plum and black tea. In the mouth the freshness is sharp and flow juicy with good, chalky tension and finely grained but voluptuous tannins. An expressive, primary red.

Taut, crisp and medium-bodied, showing a linear style of graphite-laden berry flavors, with vibrant acidity carrying the flavors onto the finish around mineral-tinged tannins. Drink now. 1,500 cases made, 1,000 cases imported.
