Zorzal "Tinto de Tiza" Eggo Red 2014

Decanter : 95 Points

(10/2016) Look no oak — and what a delight! Malbec with a pinch of Cabernets Franc and Sauvignon, co-fermented and aged in a concrete egg. Very honest wine: fresh, with fine grain of tannin and pure dark fruits. Tiza is Spanish for chalk, referring to that chalky minerality.

(8/2015) The 2014 Eggo Tinto de Tiza is a blend from three different vineyards in Tupungato Winelands in Gualtallary. It's a blend of mostly Malbec with some Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. As is the case with the whole Eggo range, the wine didn't see any oak, and in this case it was matured in egg-shaped cement vats for one year. There are violets, plums, dark cherries and something earthy. This is slightly riper than the 2013. The medium-bodied palate has is fresh with a silky texture, pure flavors and a mineral-driven finish. At this price I'd buy it by the case. Super! 30,000 bottles produced. Drink: 2015 - 2020.
