70% Malbec, 30% Cabernet Franc
JAMES SUCKLING 92 POINTS - "This shows aromas of bark, dark fruit and a smoky undertone. The palate is full-bodied, juicy and succulent, with fine-grained tannins, yet marked by characteristic austerity. Flavors of violets and bright blue fruit add lift. A blend of 70% malbec and 30% cabernet franc. Drink now." - Jacobo García Andrade
VINOUS 91 POINTS - "The 2024 Mountain Blend Reserva (Malbec/Cabernet Sauvignon) is intriguing. It delivers plummy fruit and delicate herbal notes of notable purity. Dry and taut, with fine tannins and a friendly finish, this is a much more complex expression of Uco Valley terroir than most wines at this price."
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.
