Best Malbec I’ve ever had. Everything about this epitomizes Malbec. Inky and dark even at 13yrs old! Clove, menthol, black licorice, cocoa dusted bay leaf, and even some blackberry pie. Very pure. Awesome bottle.

Clear, bright and deep purple, high concentration and medium plus viscosity.
Clean, medium plus intensity aromas of black cherry, black currant, black plum, figs, violet, licorice ,espresso and fruit cake.
Dry, full body and high alcohol, medium plus acidity and medium plus tannin, long finish and medium plus complexity. This wine is rich and powerful, grippy tannin.$818

Absolutely excellent. Could stand to age for several more years. Herbal notes on the nose and surprisingly soft and elegant on the palate. An aha wine that will make you a true wine lover/nerd.

floral, elegant combining earthy notes with the standard line of Adrianna, complexity, spicy, and a wonderful structure and concentration, quite vibrating Malbec

2009 vintage. Incredibly delicious wine. Hits every note that my palate looks for.

Refined tannin at the back of the palate, medium acid, long finish. Intense color, but the flavor is a little underwhelming for this price range.
