Zuccardi "Fosil" Uco Valley Chardonnay 2017
92
Wine Advocate
(6/29/2018) "The second vintage of this new top-of-the-range white, the 2017 Fosil San Pablo is made with Chardonnay from a vineyard in San Pablo, cropped from a slightly warmer and riper year. The wine fermented exclusively in concrete and also matured there. In fact, they also fermented and matured part of the wine in oak cask, but they didn't like the result and, therefore, didn't add it to the final blend. So, the bottled wine is exclusively produced in concrete. It feels a little riper and rounder, with less complexity than the initial 2016; it's more approachable and easy to understand, but to me, it's also simpler. However, it's still a great white, but comparisons can be tedious... 2,600 bottles were filled in February 2018."

Vinous, Stephen Tanzer
(7/2018) "(14.4% alcohol - the yield here was reportedly just 2.5 tons per acre - aged for 18 months in new French oak): Bright medium ruby. Sappy scents of blackberry, black raspberry, plum, licorice, flowers and herbs. Tactile, savory, concentrated wine with dark fruit flavors accented by violet and licorice high notes. Finishes with remarkably sweet, ripe, Malbec-dominated tannins and terrific length. Showing a bit of development, and thus not as relentlessly primary as this winery's 2016 Lote Negro blend. But this wine should continue to evolve gracefully in bottle. Drinking Window: 2019 - 2026."

Zuccardi "Tito Zuccardi" Uco Valley Red Blend 2016
93
Wine Advocate
(6/29/2018) "The 2016 Tito Zuccardi is a slightly different blend from past years, and in this cold vintage, it is 80% Malbec with 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Ancellotta. It fermented in concrete vats with indigenous yeasts, and 40% of the wine was put in used 500-liter French oak barrels while the rest remained in concrete. This is still too young and has more Cabernet character, and it feels a little marked by its elevage, relatively speaking, compared with other wines, because it's not really oaky. The palate is austere, chalky, linear, without any fat, lean and with a dry finish. It can develop nicely in bottle. 25,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2017. Drink 2019 - 2024."

(12/2016) "Tasted side by side with the 2014, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Owen's Vineyard feels a lot fresher. This is an old, balanced, traditional vineyard that yields wines with very good depth and natural balance. There is perfect ripeness here and a notable absence of those green pepper aromas that often mask the personality of many Cabernets. These old vines yield very concentrated juice and it shows in the tannins and acidity, which show in perfect harmony."

Vinous, Stephen Tanzer
(6/2018) "(From vines on a plateau above Agrelo on the eastern side of the valley; the amount of limestone in this soil is unusual for the area, which is not normally a prime place for Malbec): Bright red-ruby. Highly aromatic perfume of blackberry, violet and licorice, plus a touch of peppery wildness; I was reminded both of Pinot Noir and northern Rhone Syrah. Plush, savory, pungent wine with distinctive limestone energy giving the middle palate a light touch. Utterly fine-grained wine with terrific subtle flavor intensity and grip. Finishes with very smooth tannins and lovely rising floral length. A very complex, penetrating Malbec with lovely restrained sweetness."

(5/1/2017) "Potent, inky aromas of blackberry and licorice reflect this beefy Malbec's opaque black color. In the mouth, this is energetic and not just heavy and extracted. Lightly salted black-fruit flavors are lifted by acidity, while this finishes deep and strong. Drink through 2022."

Zuccardi "Q" Uco Valley Malbec 2017
92
Wine Advocate
(6/29/2018) "The 2017 Q Malbec wants to showcase the variety in the Valle de Uco using grapes from Altamira and Chacayes. It fermented in concrete vats with indigenous yeasts and with some full clusters that were broken, and it matured in concrete and used French barriques. This differs from the Serie A in the vineyards; here, they look for more texture and less fruit, aiming for sharper and more austere, in the direction of Concreto. It's impressive how the wines from Zuccardi have improved in the last few years and how a wine at this price can have such precision and purity. No excess in any direction."

(6/29/2018) "The fresh, floral and expressive 2016 Catena Malbec blends grapes from different parts of Mendoza: Lunlunta, Agrelo, Altamira El Cepillo and Gualtallary. It fermented in stainless steel and matured in French and American oak barrels for an average of 12 months. It's straight and a little austere but has deep flavors. Superb quality for the price and volume. Drink Date 2018 - 2023." (Argentina)

Catena Mendoza Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
91+
Wine Advocate
(6/29/2018) "The 2016 Catena Cabernet Sauvignon blends grapes from different terroirs of Mendoza and contains some 7% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, but it's still legally a varietal red. It matured in French and American oak barrels for one year before bottling. The varietal aromas soar from the glass, with a traditional Bordeaux profile. It was harvested early, before March 15th, and it shows in the freshness. These Catena varietals really excel in 2016. Drink Date: 2018 - 2022."
