Description
The Catena Alta Cabernet Sauvignon represents years of research and experimentation on the part of Nicol�s and Laura Catena. It was their desire to identify only the very best rows of the La Pir�mide and Domingo vineyards from which to craft wines that would reflect the potential and quality of Argentina. Produced in limited quantities, the result of their painstaking efforts is a Cabernet Sauvignon as rich in flavour as it is in significance. A truly world-class wine from a world-class region, crafted by a world-class producer.

Tasting Notes
I was very pleasantly surprised by the 2017 Catena Alta Cabernet Sauvignon, which has a very classical nose, combining the herbal character of the grape with good ripeness of the year, resulting in a very complete wine, nicely textured and with the serious tannins from the variety. I was very impressed by the 2016, and this follows the same path. Drink date: 2019-2025. Score - 93. (Luis Guti�rrez, robertparker.com, Oct. 31, 2019)
