Santa Julia Reserva Malbec 2014, Valle de Uco, Tunuyán, Mendoza, Argentina

$16.49 | 88/100

UPC: 7791728000566 The reserva Malbec has no doubt benefited from the Zuccardi family foray into concrete and a growing respect for terroir based wines. In this case expect a brighter, fresher opening than in the past with a glance at the floral, red fruit spectrum. The attack is rich and lush (Malbec soft) with completely ripe, peppery, black fruit notes in the finish. Balanced; it delivers a lot of wine for $16. Grilled beef is the ticket here.
