The 2014 River Stones Malbec has garnered widespread acclaim from top critics and publications. It received an impressive 98 points from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, 97 points from Falstaff, and 94 points each from James Suckling and Decanter. These accolades reflect its exceptional balance, aging potential, and the meticulous viticulture behind its creation.

Tasting Notes

This vintage opens with a deep carmine hue and a subtle ochre rim, setting the stage for a complex bouquet that reveals fine oak nuances, nougat, black forest berries, and delicate hints of tobacco. On the palate, it is juicy and refined, showcasing silky tannins and vibrant freshness. Flavors of ripe cherry and red berries unfold with precision, balanced by mineral undertones from the stony riverbed soils of the Adrianna Vineyard. The wine’s structure and elegance make it a superb companion to grilled lamb chops, duck confit, or mushroom risotto, while its acidity and depth also pair beautifully with aged cheeses and charcuterie. Its luxurious texture and aromatic intensity allow it to shine both as a contemplative sipper and a versatile partner at the table.
