Tasting Notes

Ripe raspberry, cassis, redcurrant, plum, and blackberry aromas unfold with accents of pepper, clove, cedar, ash, and soft oak. The palate is rich and plush, with silky, lightly chalky tannins and a long finish layered with black fruit, tobacco, and leather.

Food Paring

Pair this structured Cabernet with grilled ribeye or herb-crusted rack of lamb, where its dark fruit and polished tannins complement savory richness. It is also an excellent match for slow-braised beef and aged cheddar, bringing freshness and spice to every bite.

Professional Reviews

95 Vinous

"The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Catena Alta reflects Mendoza’s continental character and pure fruit expression. It includes 8% Cabernet Franc from Luján de Cuyo and Uco Valley and is aged for up to 18 months in barrel. Its aging informs but does not overpower its intensely aromatic profile, which has notes of redcurrant, plum and blackberry over a background of ash and soft oak. Dry, plush and just lightly fitted by chalky tannins, the palate seems to vibrate as it stretches into a long, flavorful finish. This is a beautifully crafted wine with a modern touch."

93 James Suckling

"Lots of cherries, white pepper and spiced berries on the nose. Medium-bodied on the palate with juicy berries and lightly chewy tannins. Plenty of fruit in a medium-long finish. Drink or hold."
