Professional ratings

90ptsRobert Parker's Wine Advocate
Produced from Catena's holdings in Lunlunta, El Cepillo and Gualtallary, the 2024 Malbec is a classic expression of the variety that matured for 12 months in second- and third-use barrels. Roasted herbs, graphite and subtle floral notes mark the nose, followed by a soft, seductive mouthfeel and an even-keeled finish that lingers with savory flavors and a discreet mineral core.
