2008 Catena Malbec $21


I've always liked the Catena Malbec, but just don't like the price in WA state. I think in NJ I was selling it for around $16 per bottle.

Rich in color and just as rich on the nose as well. Loaded full of herbs and wet spices with some solid fruit to follow. Great balance with some more intense dark fruit and spices. Finish was big but does seem to mellow a little. I'd love to hold onto a case for another 5 years then start cracking them. I bet they'll age well!
