Merchant Reviews
Mendoza, Argentina- Floral bouquet of violets, dark fruits and touches of vanilla and spice. The palate offers sweet black cherry fruit, a generous texture and marked mineral notes as well as layers of chocolate and spicy black pepper. 100% Malbec, aged 12 months in mostly French oak.

GOOD VINTAGE BUT TOO PRICY
By Jerome12357001, October 27, 2007
Catena makes a great wine! I had a good vintage and it went well with the WTC (Wine Tasters Club). Smooth with layers of chocolate and spice. It was a definite hit. I hope to continue to purchase a good vintage. I do recommend this wine.
Great wine for a reasonable price
By Marinoni11791503, January 20, 2008
I don't know why I read some bad reviews on this particular wine. I think it is a great tasting wine, favorably compares to many more expensive wines. Smooth, well rounded and I'll say it's a 92 pts in my book.
Unimpressive
By Larios10476992, December 27, 2005
Overated... not sure if I had the 2001 or 2002, but regardless I doubt I would give Catena another chance at their standard average $20+ per bottle. There are much better Malbecs out there at slightly lower prices.
Good but too pricey

Pretty good, very drinkable (if you like merlot). More like a 3.5 than a 3. We've found others at half the price that are better, though.
Not like it's cousin Catena Alta
By Spearfisher, August 27, 2007
Not impressive. This is a drinkable wine of no real character. Typical malbec with berries, oak, and spices. No real depth. Try to get your hands on Catena Alta Malbec (2003, 0r 2004). WS gave it a 94 and it will impress you as one of the very best malbecs you will ever drink.
