We review the Zuccardi Series A Malbec found at Costco for just $12.
100% Malbec from vineyards in the Uco Valley, Mendoza, Argentina. Part of the wine was aged in French oak barrels and it has just 1.9 g/L of residual sugar.
This wine is widely available for around $15 but we found it at Costco for just $11.99. Find out how to check if your store has it in stock from the comfort of your home here. It is imported by Winesellers, LTD.
From the bottle:
The Zuccardi Serie A range demonstrates the richness and diversity of Argentina’s many microclimates and soils. Serie A stands for “Argentina Series” as the way of expressing our most representative grape varieties by recognizing the best growing regions specific to each, and selecting top vineyard sites along the foothills of the Andes Mountains.
This Malbec has a purple black color and is bursting with blackcurrant and plum aromas. It is full-bodied with rich black cherry and chocolate notes on the velvety finish. All grapes are from estate vineyards in the Uco Valley, an exceptional area for Malbec, with the perfect combination of altitude and stony soils with large rock deposits, giving the wine fresh, spicy notes and structured, yet, soft, tannins.

And now on to our review:
The 2022 Zuccardi Series A Malbec opens with a very pleasing aroma of dark fruit, a little black pepper and spice and touches of tobacco and chocolate. It’s a very good start.
Tasting the wine reveals it to be juicy, ripe and quite smooth with similar flavors to the nose plus good depth and structure. This is a really nice example of Malbec at a great price and it just keeps getting better as it has more air.
It ends dry, juicy, a bit grippy and quite long on the lasting finish. This is good stuff! It was just as good on day 2.
Cheers,
Jon
