Riccitelli 'Vineyard Selection' Malbec 2018

95 POINTS: James Suckling
94 POINTS: Vinous Media

"Blackberry, crushed-stone, lavender and iodine aromas follow through to a medium to full body with very refined, polished tannins that provide balance and refinement. Such purity and beauty. Beautiful old-vine malbec. Subtle is the word to describe this."
- James Suckling

"The 2018 Malbec Viejos Viñedos En Pie Franco is made with grapes from Las Compuertas and Vistalba, Luján de Cuyo and aged for 16 months in French
barrels. A terroir-focused red, the expression is precisely judged, offering ripe plum with hints of white pepper and cherry over a bed of violets and oak. In
the mouth, it offers muscle without pressing too hard, a broad, voluminous flow and well-judged freshness that ensures a long finish in which the fruit takes
charge. Will improve in the bottle."

ABV: 14.5%

Finest Zinfandel—True Californian Class.

Quality is consistent. Deeper bouquet and flavor than most Cali Zins. The Earth tones come thru beautifully about two years from Vintage. Wonderful
Red to contemplate on its own or with good food.

Smooth drinking wine and great value for money.

Outstanding

Elegant, well-balanced and fantastic value for money!

chianti at a good price- good value for everyday drinking

Not quite in same class as recent chianti from Wine Direct released earlier this year-but also half the price. Excellent value for a red wine: you don't have to worry about finding a superior food to match at this excellent price.
Hard pushed to find a NZ red at this price/quality ratio!

Extremely smooth
