Tasting Notes

This 2023 red blend shows aromas of black fruit, red cherries, berries, flowers, citrus, potpourri, spice, licorice, dried spice, white pepper, balsamic notes, and subtle oak. The palate is juicy, vibrant, medium-bodied, and plush, with freshness from Malbec, volume from Petit Verdot, small-grained tannins, and a lively satisfying finish.

Food Paring

Pair this Mendoza red blend with grilled beef, lamb, pork, poultry, mushrooms, or blue cheese to complement its juicy fruit, fresh acidity, and smooth tannins. It is also a strong match for roast beef Wellington, veal cutlets, charcuterie, and casual barbecue when you want a polished red with spice and a plush finish.

Professional Reviews

92 James Suckling

"A juicy, vibrant and fruity blend of malbec, bonarda and petit verdot. Aromas of red cherries, berries and touches of citrus and potpourri. Fresh and brambly, with a medium body and small-grained fruit tannins."

92 Vinous

"The 2023 Tinto Histórico DV Catena blends 79% Malbec, 15% Bonarda and 6% Petit Verdot from four vineyards across Uco Valley and Primera Zona. Aged for up to 13 months in barrel, its appealing aromatic profile offers orange petit four, white pepper and balsamic notes over black fruit and oak. Slightly indulgent with volume and grip, the palate derives plushness from its aging and subtly active tannins from the vintage."

91 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"Composed of 79% Malbec, 15% Bonarda and 6% Petit Verdot, the 2023 DV Catena Tinto Histórico pays tribute to Domingo Vicente Catena's red blends of the 1930s. It is quite pretty and refined on the nose, bringing together red fruit, licorice and dried-spice aromas that introduce a lush, texturally satisfying palate before concluding with a solid, lively finish."
