2021 Catena D.V. Catena Tinto Historico Red Blend

A fragrant nose full of vivid strawberries and sweet cherries. Tight and lightly chewy on the palate with plenty of fruit. Juicy, balanced and quite drinkable. 75% malbec, 18% bonarda and 7% petit verdot. Enjoy now.” – Zekun Shuai Review Date: April 2023

“The 2021 Tinto Histórico DV Catena is a blend of 75% Malbec, 18% Bonarda and 7% Petit Verdot from Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley and was aged for eight months in new and used barrels. It’s garnet red in the glass. The ripe, liqueur-like nose offers sour cherry and plum notes leavened by fresh herbal notes over a pleasant secondary layer from the aging process. Quite smooth with good volume, the flow is juicy yet a little compressed in the mouth. Drinking Window: 2022 - 2033.” – Joaquín Hidalgo Review Date: September 2022

“The 2021 DV Catena Tinto Histórico was produced with a blend of 75% Malbec, 18% Bonarda and 7% Petit Verdot matured in oak barrels for eight to 14 months, depending on the lot, as the grapes were vinified and aged separately. It has a medium-bodied palate and enough spice and tastiness to keep the juicy, fruit-driven profile. It finishes long, clean and tasty in a classical style. Drink Date: 2022 – 2026” – Luis Gutiérrez Review Date: November 2022
