CATENA ALTA 2015 Malbec
Vineyard Blend, Mendoza
From the Winemaker:
"CATENA ALTA Malbec is sourced from selected rows in the Catena Zapata Family's Andean vineyards: Angelica vineyard, La Piramide vineyard, Nicasa vineyard, Adrianna vineyard, and Angelica Sur vineyard. The blend of these historic rows, like the marriage of sounds that creates a symphony, yields an exuberant wine that speaks for the earth and the vines that have been tended by the Catenas for four generations. The Catena Zapata Family, since 1902: Argentina's Malbec Pioneer." $54.99/bottle at Park Plaza Liquor and Deli
Black Tears by Tapiz 2013 Malbec
Black Tears by Tapiz 2013 Malbec
Single Vineyard San Pablo (Uco Valley)
"Blackberry, cassis and floral aromas are the lead actors on a musky nose. This ripe Malbec feels thick and syrupy, while rich flavors of blackberry, cassis, chocolate, and mocha finish smooth but shy. For such a big wine, this is light on the tannic bite. Drink through 2021." -MICHAEL SCHACHNER, Wine Enthusiast, who rated this wine 92 points. $54.99/bottle at Park Plaza Liquor and Deli
