Catena Alta 'Historic Rows' Malbec 2018

Product description

Catena Alta is an assemblage of historic rows within the Catena family Estate vineyards. The blend of these historic rows, like the marriage of sounds that create a symphony, yields a highly aromatic and elegant wine that speaks for the earth and the vines that the Catenas have tended for four generations. The Catena Alta wines can usually be drunk starting three years after harvest and into the following one to two decades.

93 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2018 Catena Alta Malbec shows more evolution and ripeness than the 2019. It's varietal and floral with a mixture of red and black fruit, sweet spices and aromatic herbs. It has moderate ripeness, a little lower in alcohol than in 2019, and has a medium body and fine-grained tannins with good grip.
