2017 Zorzal Eggo Tinto de Tiza
2017 Zorzal Eggo Tinto de Tiza, Malbec from Mendoza, Argentina, great structure and volume, silky body with textured tannins. The acidity gives it a lot of freshness, making it a very direct wine.
Robert Parker: The mouthfeel of the 2017 Eggo Tinto de Tiza was like biting into a piece of chalk (“tiza” is the Spanish word for chalk), the texture provided by the limestone-rich soils from Gualtallary, especially in the higher part of this large region. This wine is not about the varieties (it’s a blend to start with) but about the place, the soils, the local vegetation, the austerity and the wilderness.
