WINE ADVOCATE 91 POINTS - "The blend of 70% Malbec and 30% Cabernet Franc works wonders, as seen in the 2022 Reserva Malbec Cabernet Franc. The Cabernet Franc is a great addition, in terms of backbone, tannins and structure, to the Malbec (same as Malbec often adds fruit and juiciness to Cabernet Sauvignon in Mendoza). This is ripe and juicy, very balanced and integrated, with flowers, berries, herbs and spices, complexity but drinkability and measured oak. This is a very stable blend."
Since the 1950s, the Zuccardi family has pioneered winegrowing in Mendoza, building state-of-the-art facilities and establishing a vineyard portfolio and business model rivaled by few in the region. Julia Zuccardi, a granddaughter of the family patriarch, is the namesake and director of the estate. She's hired Ruben Ruffo, a 25-year veteran winemaker to craft the wines, while Edgardo Consoli manages the sprawling vineyards like they belong to a Bordeaux classified growth. Bodega Santa Julia was created in honor of Julia Zuccardi, part of the third generation of leaders from the family. The Santa Julia winery represents the family's commitment to producing the highest quality wines through sustainable practices that protect the environment and uplift the local community. They support the land, the farmers and the overall health of the local community in a myriad of ways. And the wines they make? Stunning.
