Wine Review: This hazy and dark ruby colored Pinot Noir from Zuccardi opens with a ripe black raspberry bouquet with hints of black pepper. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is round. The flavor profile is a stone dust and stewed black plum blend with notes of black tea ripe blackberry. We also detected hints of mushroom and black pepper. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity and grippy moderate tannins linger away nicely. We would pair this Malbec with your favorite burger off the grill. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Very intense violet-red color. Aromas of fresh red fruit, flowers, and herbs, followed by subtle notes of spice and mint. Firm and ripe tannins, with a fruity character, medium body, and a notably long finish. An elegant Malbec, characteristic of the Uco Valley.

Buy it: Use 1000 Corks to find stores that sell Zuccardi 2023 Q Malbec.
