JAMES SUCKLING 92 POINTS - "Dark cherries, spices and touches of chiles, chocolate and violets. Medium- to full-bodied on the palate with fleshy fruit in the mid-palate and an impressive tension that weaves everything together. Firm, fine-grained and long."
Since the 1950s, the Zuccardi family has pioneered winegrowing in Mendoza, building state-of-the-art facilities and establishing a vineyard portfolio and business model rivaled by few in the region. Julia Zuccardi, a granddaughter of the family patriarch, is the namesake and director of the estate. She's hired Ruben Ruffo, a 25-year veteran winemaker to craft the wines, while Edgardo Consoli manages the sprawling vineyards like they belong to a Bordeaux classified growth. Bodega Santa Julia was created in honor of Julia Zuccardi, part of the third generation of leaders from the family. The Santa Julia winery represents the family's commitment to producing the highest quality wines through sustainable practices that protect the environment and uplift the local community. They support the land, the farmers and the overall health of the local community in a myriad of ways. And the wines they make? Stunning.
70% Malbec, 30% Cabernet Franc
