POINTS
“The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon blends multiple terroirs from the Uco Valley, with its focal point in Los Arboles. It displays a purple hue with a garnet sheen. Its nose reveals mint, ashes, currant and menthol. The dry and plush palate leaves a lingering, juicy impression with a slightly taut mouthfeel. This continental Cabernet is brimming with flavor and boasts polished tannins.”

About the Vineyard

The Catena wines are made from 100% estate-grown fruit from the Catena family’s high-altitude vineyards. These wines are a blend of single varietals from various locations within these vineyard sites. Each vineyard is farmed in preparation for its role in the final blend and harvested and vinified separately to preserve the unique expression, aromas, and flavors of the fruit. This ultimately brings to the blend the strengths of each vineyard, adding a heightened complexity to the final wine.
