VinoUS Media Review
Rated 92
The 2024 Malbec is sourced from Mendoza. This is the ABC of provincial Malbec: expressive red fruit, a touch of fresh plum, a faint balsamic note and violets. It is juicy and agile with integrated freshness. Compared with the previous vintage, the 2024 release is slightly slimmer and more lithe.Drinking Window 2026-2036.

Wine Tasting Notes
The Catena High Mountain Vines Mendoza Malbec presents a deep violet color with purple reflections. This microclimate blend of four unique vineyards offers intense aroma, soft texture and concentrated flavor. Deep aromas of ripe red and dark fruits are joined by delicate violet and lavender notes, with traces of vanilla and mocha. A rich, concentrated mouthfeel is highlighted by flavors of blueberries and blackberries with a touch of leather and cinnamon. The wine has well-integrated tannins, bright acidity and a flinty minerality that provides exceptional length to the finish.
