It includes 8% Cabernet Franc from Luján de Cuyo and Uco Valley and is aged for up to 18 months in barrel. Its aging informs but does not overpower its intensely aromatic profile, which has notes of redcurrant, plum and blackberry over a background of ash and soft oak. Dry, plush and just lightly fitted by chalky tannins, the palate seems to vibrate as it stretches into a long, flavorful finish. This is a beautifully crafted wine with a modern touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93pts James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLots of cherries, white pepper and spiced berries on the nose.

The Catena family began making wine in Mendoza in 1902. Nicolas Catena, third generation family vintner, was one of the first to see the potential of Mendoza's mountain vineyards for producing high quality Malbec. In 1994, he became the first Argentine to exprot a world-class bottling of Malbec under the Catena label. Nicolas is joined by his daughter, Dr. Laura Catena, in their relentless pursuit of world-class quality from the family's high altitude vineyards. Laura has done extensive work in introducing Malbec and other varietal plant selections, soil and climate analysis, and sustainable practices throughout Mendoza. Head winemaker, Alejandro Vigil, has been at Catena Zapata since 2002 and works with Laura and Nicolas to make wines that express the family's vineyards and palate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winebow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67649682637164,"sku":"098709088511","price":49.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2424\/3053\/products\/catena-alta-cabernet-sauvignon-2018-750ml-876553.jpg?v=1691450294","url":"https:\/\/redneckwinecompany.com\/products\/catena-alta-cabernet-sauvignon-2022-750ml","provider":"Redneck Wine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
