2011 Familia Zuccardi Tempranillo Q

Santa Rosa more

7/27/2015 - Gingersnail wrote: NR

Very nice balance. Typical medium bodied Tempranillo, with obvious chocolate and raspberry notes and a touch of herbaceous note. Paired okay with bbq chicken, but I think ribs would work better.

Reflective of a Bordeaux blend. Nice medium bodied wine with forward red fruit (a hint of raspberry) and a nice earthy finish. Still has good structure and could easily probably go another year or two.

very nice wine... twizzler/jolly rancher on the nose, a bit of smokiness and herb as well. The attack was nebbiolo red fruit and finished with a bit of earthy licorice. Went very well with gnocchi. Give it at least an hour and a half decant.

a strong grape (yes grape) nose, with a bit of peach; on the palette it actually tasted like ripe grapes (not grape juice, was good); its very sweet and makes good apertif or pairing with vanilla ice cream.
