Catena Alta Malbec(2004)
The 2004 Catena Alta Malbec shows a deep, saturated violet color with a blackish hue. The nose presents a wide array of dark berry fruits with notes of delicate violets flowers as well as sweet clove spices, a touch of cedar and leather. The mouthfeel is full and unctuous, with excellent weight and supple texture. The mid palate offers rich cassis and black currant fruit flavors interwoven with hints of chocolate, vanilla and black pepper. The lengthy finish shows wonderful minerality, with finely grained tannins and lively acidity.

- The low end Catena Malbec leave a little to be desired, but the Alta epitomizes everything we love about Malbec...except the low price. Stay away from French and enjoy the wonderful New World wines of Argentina. A sip of this wine will bring visions of galloping horses across the rolling pampas. A hard charging, yet deceptively smooth wine.
