Familia Zuccardi 'Aluvional' Paraje Altamira 2014 Review

If you like Malbec, strap in: This is the one you have been searching for. Yes, it's expensive but this is your moment; you've been drinking this grape for a while now and you want to know what the finer exemplars are like. Well, this right here is the future of fine wine from Argentina. Beautifully structured with familiar blackberry fruit notes that immediately fold into scrub brush rosemary and cracked black pepper. The acidity promotes the perception of clean minerality, giving the wine excellent balance. Go get this wine, you're worth it.
