Zorzal 2012 Piantao Red (Tupungato)

Country: Argentina / Piantao
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Mendoza Province
Winery: Zorzal / Tupungato

This Cabernet Franc blend opens with herbal oaky aromas of coffee and red fruits. The palate feels tartaric and shocking, with heavy extraction and an overall wiry feel. Jacked-up berry flavors come with more than enough oak, while this is steady but not finessed or elegant on the finish. Drink through 2021.
