Cassis and cranberries with hints of tar and flowers on the nose. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with a juicy, delicate profile. Firm yet fresh, marked by a long, persistent finish. Sourced from both Agrelo and the Uco Valley. Drink now.

Tasting Notes

Notes of ripe raspberries, cassis, pepper, and clove. Rich and full-bodied with layers of black currant, black raspberry, cedar, tobacco, and leather. Silky tannins provide structure and a long, persistent finish.

About the Wine

The Catena wines are a special assemblage of High Mountain Estate Vineyards made by fourth generation vintner, Laura Catena and chief winemaker, Alejandro Vigil. Although we have found that most of the Catena wines are consumed shortly after release, we are pleased to see that they age beautifully for ten to twenty years. Through decades of study and exploration within Mendoza’s high altitude mountain terroirs, the Catena family has identified special locations for its Estate vineyards. From the marriage of these historic vineyards emerges a wine of unique character that has natural balance, concentration and a distinct varietal identity

Blend: 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot
