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)

Malbec is still not my favorite grape, but this was good, well balanced. Would drink again.

Nice 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.
