Catena Malbec High Mountain Vines 2017
Mendoza, ArgentinaNow super consistent, this blend of three mountain estate vineyards from 920 meters to 1450 meters is carefully overseen by Laura Catena and chief winemaker, Alejandro Vigil. Over the years, Catena has shed some oak in favour of fruit, and it is making a big difference. Bright, lively, juicy, and fun to drink, the palate is a pleasant mix of violets and red plums. The malbec grapes are given a five-day cold maceration at 8,8ºC to extract more lavish aromas without alcohol. Post ferment, it spends 12 months in a mix of first, second and third-year barrels.Tasted: 03 November 2019Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $24.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
