Tasting- Catena Malbec, 2014

Name: Catena Malbec
Variety: Malbec
Country: Argentina
Region: Mendoza
Year: 2014
Price: Approx. $20

Winery Review: "The Catena Malbec presents a deep violet color. This microclimate blend of four unique vineyards offers intense aromas, a soft texture, and concentrated flavor. Deep aromas of ripe red and dark fruits are joined by delicate violet and lavender notes, with traces of vanilla and mocha. A rich, concentrated mouthfeel is highlighted by flavors of blueberries and blackberries with a touch of sweet spice, and leather. The wine finishes with bright acidity, well-integrated and silky tannins, and a flinty minerality that lingers on the palate."--wine.com

Personal Review: I found this wine to be a little too full for my liking with an acidic bite to it. This wine is a deep red full of richness and floral flavor and aroma. Light tannins that leave a long-finish. 


I tasted this wine with food. Drunk with grilled salmon and sides.
