What We Say

Made by one of the oldest Bodegas in Tioja Alta, Bodegas Bilbainas, this is a modern style of Rioja packed with ripe red fruit & those lovely spicy, smokey, vanillin oaky flavours but it majors on the fruit.  A stalwart of the Vintner wine list & we're proud to be listing one of the real great value finds from this great region.

What they say:

"The 2010 Zaco is a pure Tempranillo from 10- to 20-year-old vines aged equally in American and French oak. It has a simple, clean and “fun” bouquet of small dark cherries and a touch of blueberry jam. The palate is well-balanced with rounded tannins, good acidity and a clean, smooth, satisfying finish." Neil Martin, Wine advocate

"This red shows focus and good density, with ripe fruit flavours of black cherry and plum accented with toast and coffee, all supported by well-integrated tannins. Leafy and minerally accents linger on the finish. Drink now through 2016." 90 Points, Wine Spectator (February 2013)
