Catena Malbec Mountain Vines 2012

Mendoza, ArgentinaIt would be easy to miss the terroir subtleties in this wine, too polished, too soft, and too perfect for the price but give it some attention. The nose is a floral black fruit affair that draws you into a smooth polished red wine with very soft tannins. The palate is a mix of blackberries and blackcurrants with just enough oak to keep it all interesting. Grilled meat entrées are the match or mushrooms, or Osso Buco and or aged cheeses.
