The accolades for Familia Zuccardi continue to pile up. Last year, they became the first Argentine winery to have three wines merit 100 pts in the Wine Advocate. Wine Enthusiast recognized Zuccardi as the Best Winery in the New World. And after winning the competition three years in a row, Zuccardi was removed from eligibility for the crown of World’s Best Vineyard!
The Zuccardi ‘Q’ series is special for 3rd generation winemaker Sebastian Zuccardi. The project was started by his father and was the first wine to bear their family name on the label. When the project began, the best plots of each vineyard were marked with a ‘Q’ – for Quality. Extra attention was paid to their cultivation, with the most skilled workers assigned to tend these vineyards.
Plots are harvested separately at optimal ripeness and blended after fermentation to achieve the perfect integration of the different regions. The low-laying La Consulta region gives juiciness, while the high-altitude Gualtallary region gives structure. The result is a fabulous Cabernet Sauvignon, with loads of blackberry fruit balanced by firm tannins and hints of earthiness. Double the price for a California equivalent!
James Suckling: 92 Points
Plums, black currants, nutmeg and coriander on the nose. Some graphite and tobacco. It’s firm and savory with a full body and medium-chewy tannins. Dried herb character on a firm finish. Drink or hold.
