Catena Malbec is made by Catena Zapata, one of the most recognized Malbec producers in the world, from vineyards in Mendoza, Argentina sitting at elevations between 3,000 and 5,000 feet. That altitude and climate create ideal conditions for growing Malbec, giving the grapes deep flavor and structure.This bottling is a microclimate blend of four unique vineyards, presenting a deep violet color with purple reflections. It offers intense aroma, soft texture, and concentrated flavor. Deep aromas of ripe red and dark fruits are joined by delicate violet and lavender notes, with traces of vanilla and mocha. A rich, concentrated mouthfeel is highlighted by flavors of blueberries and blackberries with a touch of leather and cinnamon. The wine has well integrated tannins, bright acidity, and a flinty minerality that gives it exceptional length on the finish. It typically runs 13.5 to 14.5 percent alcohol by volume depending on the vintage.
