Reviews and Ratings

From an iconic producer, Catena's High Mountain Vines 2018 is a dry, full-bodied and well-priced Argentinean Chardonnay with ripe pear, buttercream, and oak on the nose. Good body and acidity. About 60% of the wine was aged in oak on the lees while the remainder was done in stainless steel. Bright and vibrant, pair with lobster Mac and cheese. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
