Catena Malbec Mountain Vines 2011
Mendoza, ArgentinaThis malbec is sourced from high mountain vines and is a blend of 4 different vineyards. The result is a fresh and savoury red with anise, black plum and ink aromas. The fine grained tannins and juicy acid balance the firm and tight black fruit on the palate. I appreciate the quiet confidence of the wine; it doesn't shout, but it brims with power nonetheless. The pencil shavings finish lingers with espresso dust. Picturing hearty roast beef dinner as a great match.Tasted: 16 March 2015Tasted by: Prices:BC | $23.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
