Alcohol: 13.6%
Grape(s): 100% Malbec
Localization: Uco Valley, Mendoza, Argentina
Tasting Notes: A rich purple in the glass, the nose offers ripe plum, gentle violet notes and aromas from the aging process along with hints of herb. In the mouth, it’s juicy and expansive with polished, rounded, sweet tannins that enhance the volume of the palate without losing their slight grip. Relaxed and flavorful with good balance and well-judged barrel-aging, the palate also has a touch of chalk.
Food pairing: Pairs well with steak, pork dishes, and chicken in rich sauces.
The Domain: Laura Catena is a fourth-generation winemaker who grew up in a traditional Argentine-Italian winemaking family in Mendoza. Laura splits her time between Mendoza and San Francisco, California, where she is an emergency physician, university professor and occasional tango dancer. Laura had the vision of creating a new breed of Argentine wines: small quantities, artisan quality, and true to their individual terroirs. A pioneer of small-grower relations in Mendoza, Laura's incredible, limited production wines come from some of Argentina's best fruit from low-yield, high-elevation, family-owned vineyards. The wines are named after her children - Luca, Dante and Nicola - and symbolize her love for her family. The background of the label is the McDermott coat of arms of her American husband, Daniel McDermott.
