The 2022 Red Blend DV Catena Tinto Historico consists of 77% Malbec, 20% Bonarda and 3% Petit Verdot sourced from the Uco Valley and Luján de Cuyo. Aged for up to 14 months in French oak barrels, both new and used, this purplered wine reveals plum, menthol, blueberry and white pepper aromas. Dry and rich, the creamy and juicy palate leads to a supple and velvety mouthfeel. It nishes with an enticing hint of expectorant. Drinking Window 2024-2038.
Don Domingo Vicente Catena, Nicolas Catena Zapata's father, was famous in the 1930's for his deep dark red wine blend. This blend was sold in the French-styled bistros of Buenos Aires - the Paris of South America - as the finest wine from the Mendoza region. This wine, DV Catena Tinto Historico Red Blend, is made in honor of Don Domingo Catena and his legendary abilities as a Master of the Assemblage. The Catena wines are a special assemblage of High Mountain Estate Vineyards made by fourth generation vintner, Laura Catena and chief winemaker, Alejandro Vigil. Although we have found that most of the Catena wines are consumed shortly after release, we are pleased to see that they age beautifully for ten to twenty years.
Wine Tasting Notes
Black fruit and flowers from Uco Valley Malbec laced with spicy Petit Verdot. Malbec lends freshness and smoothness, while Petit Verdot grants volume and persistence, conferring a lush, rich attack and wonderful length to the blend.
