Review:

A very young, beautiful malbec that is still a bit reductive now. Fresh herbs, white pepper, violets, iron and some ripe black cherries to the nose. Full-bodied on the palate with plenty of powerful, fine tannins. Mineral and super fine-grained. Needs time. Better after 2026.

"From the high-altitude vineyard site in Paraje Altamira, the 2020 Malbec Finca Piedra Infinita Supercal is from a specially selected site within the vineyard that has consistently shown distinct characteristics that warrant its own bottling. Hugely structured, it oozes salinity, iron, blood, dried herb, and stone, while maintaining underlying freshness. It's all structure and intensity. A fantastic achievement in Malbec and this specific sense of place. Age 25-30 years. A multi-generational winery and restaurant in the Valle de Uco under the guidance of winemaker Sebastian Zuccardi, these are mountain wines with a sense of place, expressive of the terroir of specific vineyards, parcels, soils, and altitude. In 2016, the winery was built after dividing vineyards by soil type, and it’s made entirely of concrete inside and out, with concrete vessels also used for fermentation and aging. Its highest-level wines are the Parcel Wines, made to show the uniqueness of a particular parcel of land within an estate vineyard."
