Tasting Notes

Full-bodied and layered, offering ripe raspberry and cassis with pepper and clove, then deeper notes of cedar, tobacco, and leather. Silky tannins provide structure through a long, persistent finish with classic Cabernet depth.

Food Paring

Pair with savory, umami-rich beef dishes to smooth the tannins and amplify dark-fruit flavors. Firm, aged cheeses are also an excellent match, bringing out the wine’s spice and oak accents.

Professional Reviews

96 Vinous

"The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Catena Alta, sourced from Agrelo in Luján de Cuyo, also includes 7% Cabernet Franc. Aged for up to 18 months in French oak barrels, both new and used, this garnet wine with a purple sheen reveals balsamic and spicy notes intertwined with a black fruit core. Further hints of blueberry and currants layer atop a subtle oak backdrop. Dry and plush on the palate, the juicy and supple texture lingers with a fragrant and enduring flavor—a rich yet nuanced continental Cabernet."
