Tasting Notes for Catena Cabernet Sauvignon 2003 75cl:
The nose offers focused aromas of cassis and black cherry fruit with touches of grilled green pepper and smoky toast. The mouthfeel is full and well structured with ripe red currant fruit flavors and notes of cigar box. The finish is long and complex, with ripe sweet tannins.
Press Coverage:
"The intensity of the sun means that the Cabernet Sauvignon is outstanding - this is a great example and it will develop for many years."
Jeff Waters, The Daily Telegraph - 2006-10-21
Producer Information:
Nicolas Catena was the third generation of his family to make wine in Mendoza but the first to see the potential in planting higher and higher vineyards in search of cool climate sites ideal for the production of fine wine. Today, over a decade on from the first Catena Malbec in 1994, he works with his daughter Laura (who improbably juggles her work as an ER surgeon in San Francisco with the family business) in their relentless pursuit of the finest possible quality wines from their unique vineyard sites.
