Critic Ratings
James Suckling Review - Rated 98:
Deep brooding nose with a touch of cocoa powder to the deep, fresh blueberries, chiles and chocolate. Impeccable chalky tannins confer structure and resolve. Full-bodied but super fresh and bright, with a long, long finish. Need two or three years at least to let complexity come through. 100% whole cluster. Drink from 2027.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Review - Rated 96:
The 2022 Adrianna Vineyard Malbec Fortuna Terrae is pure, floral, herbal and elegant on the nose, followed by a svelte, soft and richly textured palate enlivened with an increasingly electric core of acidity. It concludes with a solid, vibrant finish framed by refined, discreet tannins, gradually gaining length and dimension with time in the glass. This is a fantastic cornerstone of the upper echelon of Catena Zapata Malbecs and a lovely midpoint between the more lifted and ethereal River and the more sumptuous Mundus Bacillus Terrae bottlings.
Wine Spectator Review - Rated 95:
This elegant version leads with fresh lilac and mineral aromas. The palate is polished yet defined, with precise mineral tension to the generous core of cherry and Santa Rosa plum flavors. Subtle guava details chime in and everything seems to swell midpalate around fresh acidity and carry onto the finish around fine tannins. Drink now through 2040.
Jeb Dunnuck Review - Rated 97:
From a particular parcel of the vineyard special for its deep soils, white stones, and south-facing exposures, the medium to full-bodied 2022 Malbec Fortuna Terrae Adrianna Vineyard offers a wealth of high-toned red fruit, subtle spice, and graphite components, given 100% whole-cluster fermentation to highlight its natural acidity. After extended cold maceration to boost its invitingly floral, earthy aromatics, it aged 14-18 months in French oak barrels, some of them larger format.
