They used more grapes from places with a little more soil and resistance to heat and dry conditions in a warmer year like 2020 for the 2020 Finca Piedra Infinita, which feels very young, primary and undeveloped. They have 46 separate plots in the vineyard, and in this early harvest, they started picking earlier than ever but during the harvest still felt they were too late; but the wines show much better than anticipated. Having the palette of wines to choose from helps in warmer years, when it’s more difficult to keep the freshness in the wine, which for them is one of the most important things. It really feels very young and better than expected. They told me they learned a lot from 2017 to manage a year like 2020, when they do a shorter maceration (and in cooler years, they might do a longer maceration). This is gentler than the 2019, with rounder tannins. 8,500 bottles were filled in June 2021.
The purple Malbec variety grapes which now grow all over the Old and New Worlds had their origins in France, where they are one of the few grape varieties allowed to be used in the highly esteemed blended wines of Bordeaux. However, it is perhaps the New World Malbec wines which have attracted the most attention in recent years, as they thrive in hot southern climates in ways they cannot in their native country, where the damp conditions leave them highly vulnerable to rot. Malbec grapes are renowned for their high tannin content, resulting in full-bodied red wines packed with ripe, plummy flavors and held in their characteristically dark, garnet colored liquid. In many countries, Malbec is still used primarily as a varietal for blending, as it adds a great level of richness and density to other, lighter and thinner varietals. However, single variety Malbec wines have been greatly on the rise in recent years, with some fantastic results and big, juicy flavors marking them out as a great wine for matching with a wide range of foods.

Such a profound nose with plenty of mineral, wild herb, violet and dark cherry aromas and flavors. Full-bodied on the palate with plenty of seamless and powdery tannins which melt into the fruit. Super pristine, polished and refined. An iron fist in a velvet glove. Muscular but intellectual. Better after 2025.

The vineyard site for the 2020 Malbec Finca Piedra Infinita is separated into a handful of parcels with stones close to the surface and a distinct calcareous influence. Fermented 80-100% whole cluster in concrete, and aged again in concrete, it offers upfront concentrated fruit and a fleshy, generous palate of gravel, blood, and iron, evoking the Northern Rhône’s feral nature from a different place and time. Age through 2040.

Winemaker Sebastián Zuccardi makes this elegant red from vines on stony soils in Paraje Altamira, Uco Valley. The captivating bouquet includes violets, crushed blackberries and plums. Rich dark-fruit flavors joined flowers, black pepper, coriander and rosemary on the layered palate. This is a delightful expression of Malbec with depth, freshness and a silky mouthfeel.

The 2020 Malbec Finca Piedra Infinita hails from Paraje Altamira in the Uco Valley. A rich purple in the glass. The nose presents camphor, thyme, hops, blueberry and blackberry over a bed of sage. Dry, compact and juicy, the chalky, vibrant palate is stirred up by measured acidity, ensuring a taut, balanced mouthfeel. With a lithe, energetic character, this Malbec exemplifies Zuccardi's primary, spare style.

Engaging from the start, with deep violet and cocoa bean notes melding with mountain herbs and wild berry. Plenty of vibrancy lifts the flavors, adding a layer of minerality and picking up momentum on the finish. Drink now through 2033. 500 cases made, 400 cases imported.
