WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Catena Malbec is a blend from three vineyards divided into lots that are harvested at different times.
Pair with roast turkey, grilled steak, salmon, and pasta with red sauce.
TASTING NOTES:
The berry and floral character comes through clearly on the nose and palate with a medium body, a medium-tannin backbone and a dark-walnut aftertaste.
- James Suckling, 91 pts.
The 2020 Catena Malbec shows plenty of roasted notes, toast and ripe fruit, the result of a warmer and riper vintage in 225-liter oak barrels. It reveals a soft and velvety texture, juicy fruit and polished tannins. It finishes dry and surprisingly more austere than I anticipated.
- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 90 pts.
