"The Catena Malbec Appellation La Consulta shows a dark violet color with deep purple tones. The nose offers aromas like red fruit and ripe, concentrated dark berries with fresh herbs and floral notes like lavender and violets, some traces of vanilla and tobacco. The mouthfeel is rich, with raspberries and blueberries, spices notes and a touch of mocha. The finish presents soft and well-structured tannins with bright, crisp acidity that gives the wine exceptional length." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Aromas of flowers and blueberries follow through to a full-bodied yet tight palate with fine, creamy tannins. Very refined and polished. Drink now." —James Suckling "The 2019 Appellation La Consulta Malbec feels primary and fruit-driven, quite faithful to the variety and vintage, with good freshness and moderate alcohol. It was juicy, with some of the chalky texture of the stony soils. 90,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2020." —Wine Advocate "A Malbec from La Consulta, a historic terroir in the south of the Uco Valley, that spent 12 months in 35% new French oak. Expressive, local flavors of ripe plum and cherry with violet notes. Also typical of the terroir are the terse texture and gentle, voluminous palate, where the acidity is well-integrated, marshaling the creamy, lengthy flow and clear, fruity aftertaste. An excellent example of the La Consulta profile." —Vinous |
