"Compared to the 2016, the 2017 Catena Cabernet Sauvignon seems a little more mature in its fresh style, with moderate alcohol and good acidity. It still contains small percentages of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, and has been aged in oak barrels for 12 months. Ferruginous notes develop over time in the glass." (Wine Advocate 2018)
