2013 Malbec, Adrianna Vineyard River Stones, Bodegas Catena Zapata (3 x Bottle)

Argentina Mendoza

(Adrianna is from densely planted--4,600 vines per hectare on average--alluvial soils with limestone in a drying river bed that has reformed on many occasions; aged in 25% new oak): Bright ruby. Great lift to the blackberry, crushed cassis, licorice and violet aromas. Wonderfully juicy and light on its feet, conveying a sophisticated grain and sexy sweetness with outstanding inner-mouth tension and stony minerality. Finishes with superb energy and fine-grained tannins. Wonderfully chewy and tactile yet somehow weightless. Great pungent length and lift. This site is a continuation of the White Stones Chardonnay plot. When these vines were planted in the early 1990s, noted Alejandro Vigil, people thought it was too cold here even to produce sparkling wine.
