Catena Malbec Mendoza Argentina 2015 (375mL)
Goodness. All we can say is we wish we could have bought 10X the amount we were able to….92 POINTS (plus 91 from The Wine Advocate!), $9….$9!! Do you have any idea how little scrilla that is?? We’ll be sneaking these bad boys into the movies for the next year!! Woo hoo!
A PSA: as noted, this is NOT enough to go around. PLEASE engage all your energy toward snagging this while you can.
Malbec! It’s what Argentina DOES. And CATENA does it shockingly well (they planted their first vineyard in 1902, when Teddy Roosevelt was prez) --- just Google the scores these guys have racked up over the years!! Once you pop this handy little bottle, be ready for the mad rush of blood to the head -- blackberry for days, crushed flowers, bitter chocolate, even a bit of espresso-like notes, titillating acidity and a long, almost Cabernet-like finish -- rich and powerful. ASTOUNDING for this price. We’re not going to say another word! Get it while you can!
