CATENA 10 MALBEC
We need a book-length manuscript to discuss the greatness and importance of this Argentine winery; three generations of the Catena family and it just keeps getting better! It all started in 1902 with Nicola Catena, recognized as the vintner who revolutionized wine quality in Argentina. And today, the family keeps proving that the high altitudes of Mendoza are indeed unique as they continue to produce world-class wines. The Catena vineyards reach up to 5000 feet. And with pages of accolades for every single wine they produce, the proof is in the bottle!#58 Wine Spectator "Top 100 for 2011"
WINE SPECTATOR 91 POINTS - “A rich red, with ripe layers of linner torte, plum pudding and fig paste flavors backed by notes of mesquite, olive paste and grilled herbs. Grippy tannins add weight to the long, vibrant finish. Drink now through 2013. 75,000 cases imported.”
