all surrounded by jammy flavors of cherry confit and blackberry marmalade

Classic ruby color

There is more than enough precision

The 2010 Cote Rotie la Turque is a much more masculine and edgy wine that's going to reward cellaring

Catena Zapata, Adrianna Malbec Size:12x750ml all surrounded by jammy flavorsFull ruby red. Musky dark fruits and bitter chocolate on the brooding nose, with a strong kirsch note emerging with aeration. Powerful and deep but youthfully closed, with terrific grip to the flavors of cassis, dark chocolate and minerals. Quite closed and young today, but with its fine grained tannins and slowly building persistence this single vineyard malbec appears to be built for a positive evolution in bottle. Stephen Tanzer
