The dark ruby-colored 2006 Tempranillo was aged in 100% American oak. The nose reveals smoke, mineral, violets, and blackberry. On the palate it offers lots of spicy black fruits, savory flavors, some elegance, and enough structure to evolve for 2-3 years. Drink this lengthy effort over the next six years. Familia Zuccardi is a family owned winery started in 1963 when they planted the first vineyard in Maipu, then a desert region, followed in 1973 by a second vineyard in Santa Rosa, another desert.Importer: Adam Sager, Winesellers Ltd, Skokie, IL; tel.
