Critic tasting note: (2006 vintage) "Fairly reduced, leaving gaseous aromas to struggle with earthy fruit. Talk about chunky ripe fruit and soft tannins: this has almost no detectable grip or grab, thus the structure is flabby and there's zero bite. Conversely, the flavors are deep and the richness is up there. Drink now." - Wine Enthusiast

- Laura Catena is a 4th generation Malbec grower. With Luca, Laura pioneered grower relations in Mendoza and discovered many small old vine Malbec vineyards that were previously going into bulk wine. The Luca team works with some of the best family vineyards in the Uco Valley to make this rich and dense example of Malbec.

This is a great example of Mendoza Malbec. Incredible deep purple red color. Loads of spice and black and red cherry aromas with notes of chocolate. The berry flavors really pop on the palate as the wine has both a full mid palate and lively acidity that leads to an incredibly long finish. A bottom note of freshly brewed espresso keeps the mouth watering too. This one is a teenager at the moment, and should age very well (and not talk back when you don’t give it the car keys!). Pairs well with foods such as venison or wild game, steak, pork, quail, all types of lamb, and medium-strong cheeses. A very flexible Malbec due to its concentration and balance.

Vintage quality: Excellent
Current condition: Ready to drink
For Argentina, the 2006 vintage was excellent.
The winter was icy and saw some snow while the spring continued in the cool trajectory delaying both budbreak and flowering. The dry, chilly conditions eventually warmed throughout the growing season but ripening was pr...
