Catena Alta Historic Rows Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
Luján de Cuyo, Northern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaThe 2015 Historic Rows is a 95/5 mix of cabernet sauvignon/cabernet franc fermented naturally, and spends 18 to 24 months in French oak. The fruit is pulled from historic rows within Catena estate vineyards that create what the family says is "a symphony of flavours". There are fragrant cassis and smoke aromas that draws you into a soft, dense, savoury, peppery, floral-fruited red with the telltale cabernet structure amidst its long, linear finish. This could use two to three more years in a bottle, or serve now with a steak and Caesar salad.Tasted: 29 November 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $53.90 | 750ml | private wine stores |
