Reviews and Ratings

Community Reviewer reviewed this wine as follows:

Catena Malbec presents an opaque violet, almost blackish color typical of top quality Argentine Malbec. This wine offers intense aromatics with rich, concentrated flavors, and a soft generous texture. It has ripe plum and chocolate flavors with a very soft, supple mouthfeel and a core of black currant and cassis, with excellent structure and length.
