Description
This cuvée takes its name from a small parcel of the Adrianna Vineyard that is completely covered with oval white stones and was the site of an ancient riverbed. The abundant stones provide optimal drainage and extreme temperatures. They absorb heat and moderate the nights, but also function like ice cubes after a very cold night. Stony soil Malbecs tend to be extremely aromatic, rich, and luxurious, just like the River Stones Malbec from Adrianna. This wine can be enjoyed young or aged for decades. 100 points James Suckling, 99 points The Wine Advocate….
Smells
A swirling potpourri of aromas; violets, rose petals, blackberries, hot stones, warm baked earth, and spice.
Tastes
A palate structure that suggests density, yet ethereal, weighty yet weightless. all at the same time. A superb core of ripe fruit shines with fine tannins that melt in your mouth, caress, and guide, finishing long and satisfying on every level. Needs time in a temperature-controlled cellar and the rewards will blow your mind.
