Zorzal Malbec 2013Green’s Cash Price:

“The 2013 Terroir Unico Malbec is unoaked and sourced from a special vineyard close to thewinery, planted in poor soil. The code name they use internally to identify the wine is “chalk.” Itdoes have a strong sense of minerality and the pure character of the Malbec, with fresh floral

notes (violets), pungent aromatic herbs (lavender), and a spicy twist. The palate is very fluid, withtension. This is pure Malbec juice such that I had not experienced before. Unbelievable quality for

the price!”Rated 91 Points -Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate
