Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard 'River' Malbec 2021 750 ml

Description:

This sector is planted in the path of a dried-out river. The stony soil helps develop an extremely aromatic, rich, and luxurious Malbec. Floral and exuberant, with smooth tannins and a lengthy finish. This wine can be enjoyed young or aged for decades.

100 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The wine was closed and took time to take off in the glass, revealing a very elegant and subtle personality, with the silky texture of the very fine tannins, pristine aromas and flavors and a sense of harmony that was moving. It's powerful but extremely elegant in that rare combination of clout and energy, a wine of light, aerial, with some ethereal qualities, delicate and refined.

98 Points - James Suckling

A full package of red fruit with a hint of black olives, spice, wet stones and hibiscus. Medium- to full-bodied on the palate, very pure, transparent and juicy. Really elegant and subtle, with a long finish. Very refined.

98 Points - Vinous

The nose offers enticing notes of sage and arugula, complemented by chamomile, lavender and huacatay, layered over a base of rosehip and crushed plums. This Malbec exhibits a dry and lean profile reminiscent of Pinot Noir, showcasing a nervous and taut sensation with a silky texture. The refreshing notes and juicy flow linger, creating a harmonious experience.
