“A 100% Malbec grown at high altitude by a winery that has become an icon of Argentina!”

“The young and juicy 2021 Catena Malbec offers a lovely blend of spices, berries, and herbs that makes it balanced, expressive, and appealing. It is round, velvety, and beautifully crafted in an approachable, easy-drinking style with a commercial profile. A champion of drinkability.” (The Wine Advocate 2022)
