It is jet black, just shot with purple at the rim. Soaringly expressive Malbec rose and tea-leaf lifts from the glass with enviable purity, without a trace of distorting oak. In the mouth, it is deep and long: an arrow of fruit yet elegant, deftly textured with a snow of fine tannins, and devoid of alcoholic heat or intrusive, strenuous acidity. A sumptuous, haute-couture Malbec where the vineyard’s untrammeled fruit and inner radiance has been given voice.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Producer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCatena has become a byword for Argentine wine brilliance.

This year it comes from two vineyards, Domingo, about 1,100 meters above sea level, and Adrianna, at 1,450. It was aged for 14 months in barrels with a combination of new and used oak. And it is a classic in the modern era of South American wine, one of the first great chardonnays on the scene in the region, but also a classic in style. Ripe fruits dominate the nose and palate. The sensation of creaminess is intense, the notes of oak add some sweetness, but do not overshadow the varietal expression.
