I don’t drink Malbec often, but when I do… I prefer Catena!

But really… it’s good. Oak. Leather. Fruit.

It tastes like I’m smoking a cigar in the forest.

Really good Malbec, still some tannic strength, but complex and full bodied, with some dried dark cherries and cocoa or tobacco. Lingers really well

Lovely round wine with black fruit, oak and smooth finish. Tannins are mild but keep the wine from being flabby. I’m not usually a Malbec person but this wine is delightful.

This Malbec is way too mild for my tastes. I like a Malbec with more punch. Medium body, cherry flavor, forward on the palate.

Deep purple in color. Plums and a hint of bell pepper on the nose. Medium bodied, smooth tannins, good acidity. Tastes like cherries. Great with a steak

Well this is super tasty! Deep ruby red with a medium plus nose of blackberry, cassis, plum, vanilla and black pepper. It’s got a luscious nose.

The wine is dry, high acid, medium alcohol but medium plus body with smooth tannins that become more grippy towards the finish. Medium plus fruit intensity that follows the nose plus a leathery earthy finish with a lot of lush fruit. The finish is medium but finishes with oak.

It’s a good to very good wine. Would absolutely drink it again.
