"Like most Catena Cabernet Sauvignons, Catena Alta Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 is not a 100% varietal wine, but a blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Cabernet Franc, as Cabernet Sauvignon alone is often not complete enough. The Cabernet Franc must have given it an extra kick, reinforcing the already fresh character of the vintage. The palate is medium-bodied, with plenty of fresh herbal aromas, and very fine, varietal tannins." (The Wine Advocate 2021) - Delivered in wooden cases for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (excluding Point Relais delivery).
