Rating:

(15% alcohol): Full, bright medium ruby. Pungent aromas of crushed cassis, blackberry, licorice and violet, plus a whiff of green pepper. Juicy, moderately dense and penetrating, showing strong acidity and noteworthy inner-mouth tension to the savory flavors of dark berries, bitter chocolate, menthol and pepper. Still a bit youthfully aggressive on the persistent back end, with a firm tannic spine calling for patience.

Product Description:

"Deep purple color with bluish reflections. Intense aromas of red and black fruit and cassis, raisins, dried figs and blueberry jam. The aging in French oak brings notes of snuff and chocolate. Soft and silky entrance, large structure with sweet and firm tannins. Long finish.

The range name Zuccardi Q stems from the practice of marking with a "Q" -from Quality- the oldest and uniforms plots of each vineyard, which worked with special attention to achieve grapes of exceptional quality batches. Today, the grapes wich is produced Zuccardi Q, come from recognized micro-regions in the Uco Valley and selected old vineyards" - Winery
