Catena Alta
Malbec 2007
$34.99
WS 93 “Ripe and concentrated, boasting vibrant aromas and flavors of crushed blackberry, raspberry and cassis, which unfold to reveal layers of spice, licorice and sweet oak as hints of graphite fill the long, juicy finish. This has power, but is well-balanced. Drink now through 2012″
WE 93 “One sniff tells you plenty: there’s attractive spice, coffee and leather to go with rich molasses and broad black-fruit aromas. The palate maintains balance due to fine, fresh acidity, and the flavor profile brings mocha, coffee, berry, plum and toast. Delicious, deep, layered and refined. Will age for at least 5–6 years, but best from 2012–2014.”

Boring review for a not boring wine.  A lot going on for only $19.99.

This is from Ernesto Catena, Laura Catena’s brother.  He also makes the Alma Negra wines.

Catena Alta
Chardonnay 2008
Mendoza, Argentina
$34.99
Tanzer 93 “Very pale color. Captivating aromas of lemon cream, nectarine, papaya,cinnamon, mace and smoky oak. Dense and lush on entry, then sweet butshapely in the middle, with vibrant flavors of pineapple, peach andspices. Surprisingly sappy acidity gives this wine terrific verve andgrip. Spreads out to saturate the palate without leaving any  impressionof weight. I would call this Burgundian, but it’s really chardonnay in its own distinctive style and one of the best examples of the variety I’ve yet tasted from Argentina.”

Good cheap malbec.

Malbec 2008

Tanzer 88 “Good bright ruby-red. Appealing black fruits, toasty oak, violet and licorice on the nose. A nicely vinous midweight, with brightness provided by pepper and mint treble notes and nicely integrated acidity. A rather elegant style of malbec, finishing with suave tannins and good sneaky length.”
