Catena Malbec

The 2005 Catena Malbec presents an dark, opaque purple color. This microclimate blend of four unique vineyard sites offers intense aromatics with rich, concentrated flavors, and a soft generous texture. The Angelica vineyard lends ripe plum and chocolate flavors with a very soft, supple mouthfeel. The La Piramide vineyard offers blackberry fruit with a slight earthy tone and notes of spicy black pepper. The Altamira vineyard brings a core of black currant and cassis, with excellent structure and length. And the Adrianna vineyard lends exceptional concentration with explosive floral aromatics. Together they make complex blend of aromas and flavors, a wine with excellent concentration, balance and freshness.
