Cabernet lovers will ‘Rejoice’ when realizing their favorite varietal gets even better with the soft touch of Malbec. This is the asado (BBQ for us Americans) wine you have been searching for! Deep blackcurrant and oak aromas with opaque red/purple color. Flavors of black cherry liqueur, red currants, and a touch of black tea. Lush without seeming heavy, the wine seems to unfold in layers, keeping the palate excited well past the lengthy finish. Plenty of tannin for aging without any harsh astringency. Pairs well with most fine food presentations like duck in a fruit sauce, leg of lamb persillade, osso buco, and even a simple filet mignon.

Suggested Food Pairing:

Beef
Game
Lamb

Blackcurrants, tree bark, aniseed, cedar and tobacco with a splash of dark spice. A full-bodied red with lots of fruit-coated, dusty tannins to chew on. Long and powerful, but polished.

Fourth-generation winemaker Ernesto Catena built a winery in the heart of the Uco Valley where vines grow at 3,280feet. This juicy blend of 60% Malbec and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon has a nose of berry jam and hints of mint. It has a good concentration of fruit flavors mixed with rosemary. Light notes of smoke add to its complexity.
