“Compared to the 2016, the 2017 Catena Cabernet Sauvignon seems slightly more mature within its fresh style, with moderate alcohol and good acidity. It still contains small percentages of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, and it was aged in oak barrels for 12 months. Iron-like notes develop over time in the glass.” (Wine Advocate 2018)
