More information on wine critics and ratings

Very intense red-violet color with blue hues. Very fresh in nose with predominant aromas of red fruits such as cherries and strawberries. Also some notes of native herbs from Mendoza. In the mouth it is fluid and juicy with a silky entry, with a lively acidity and elegant tannins that give it great structure. A very long finish.

Robert Parker (RP) : 93 Points (2018)
There is a lot of finesse in the 2018 Emma Zuccardi Bonarda, produced with grapes from Valle de Uco: 50% from San Pablo and 50% from Altamira. It fermented and matured in concrete, avoiding oak to preserve the purity. Bonarda is very sensitive to oak and seems to work better in concrete. It has some herbal aromas (is it the cooler climate of San Pablo?), with even a citrus twist. Bonarda doesn't have a lot of tannin, so they use some stems to give it a little more structure. This is among the most elegant Bonardas I have tasted. 10,000 bottles were produced. It was bottled in February 2019.

James Suckling (JS) : 93 Points (2016)
This is the real deal for bonarda from Argentina with tightness and focus and density. Medium-to-full body, solid tannins and a linear and direct finish.

Tim Atkin (TA) : 94 Points (2014)
There’s only one Emma Zuccardi bottling these days - the one from eastern Mendoza is no more - but what a wine it is. Floral, rose petal notes segue into unoaked flavours of raspberry, strawberry and plum, fine tannins and an elegance that’s almost Pinot Noir like. As good as Bonarda gets. 2016-21
