D.V. Catena Malbec Adrianna Vineyard 2005
Tasting Notes

Fact Sheet

Of a deep red colour with violet hues, the nose is intense and complex, packed with cassis, raspberry and floral scents of violets, that are characteristic of the “Adrianna” Vineyard. Oak aging adds subtle vanilla, tobacco and liqueur notes. On the palate, a sweet entry leads to an ample, complex wine, with soft, round tannins that linger throughout the finish. This wine is a perfect match with meat and game dishes.
