Zorzal Eggo – Newly Arrived

Zorzal Eggo Tinto de Tiza, Tupungato, Argentina 2013 750ML ($49.95) $39 special
Wine Advocate 95 points “The 2013 Eggo Tinto de Tiza fermented in cement eggs and matured on the skins for six months. It’s mostly Malbec with 8-10% Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc from Gualtallary. This wine was first produced in 2012, from grapes grown on more calcareous parts of the vineyard.
