Finca Los Membrillos 2017 Zuccardi

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (95)

I noticed the variety in the 2017 Finca Los Membrillos a lot more than in the 2018, as Cabernet Sauvignon is very sensitive to heat and gets stressed easily. When they bought the vineyard, it was planted to just Cabernet Sauvignon, but they later bought land around it and planted Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Semillon, so the wine can change in the future... It was a low-yielding year and they picked late, resulting in a wine with 13.8% alcohol. It has herbal and ripe aromas of blackberries, a medium to full-bodied palate and abundant, slightly dusty tannins. It matured in 500-liter oak barrels and is very balsamic and minty, with notes of camphor, and it feels more developed than the wines from 2018. 3,200 bottles were filled in August 2018.
