This classy high-altitude Malbec boasts fully ripe, nuanced aromas and flavors of dark berries, minerals, mocha, bitter chocolate, pepper and menthol. Wonderfully pliant and refined, it displays subtle inner-mouth lift and restrained sweetness and a suavely tannic, slowly rising finish. (Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, June 2018)

May 30th, 2020Nice high altitude Malbec from Catena. Intense black fruit, mocha, and pepper held together by refined tannins. Not extremely complex but delicious and balanced. 2016 vintage on Oct 26, 2018.
