2020 Zárate Caiño Tinto

The 2020 Caíño feels ripe. It doesn't have the rustic and herbal character from the past, but the wine has only 11.5% alcohol. Eulogio Pomares believes red grapes used to be grown in goblet rather than pergola, and he believes the future of reds in the region is going back to that pruning, because pergola tends to give yields that are too high. It's a light and tasty red, with vibrant flavors, a little austere.
