Wine Review: This opaque and midnight purple colored Malbec from Zuccardi is a great value! It opens with a blueberry and oak bouquet with hints of black raspberry, smoke, and violets. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, smooth, and seamless. The flavor profile is a black raspberry tea and mild tobacco blend with notes of smoky oak and black plum. I also detected hints of stone dust, cocoa, and blackberry. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and moderate refined tannins build-up nicely. I would pair this Malbec with grilled hanger steak. Enjoy - Ken
