Shop review: Organic. Our favorite wine, the 2004 Zagal from Hacienda del Plata was also our best value, dense and fruity yet well balanced and structured, avoiding the too common pitfalls of sweetness and flabbiness. Hacienda del Plata is a fairly new winery, one we were unfamiliar with, but the rest of our top five comprised fairly well-known Argentine names. Screams out for grilled beef.
My review: An interesting mix of copper and metal with floral notes on the nose. On the mid-palate, a very strong and intense flavor. Reminded me of ashes.
I did not have food with this tasting.
