Tasting note
Nicolás Catena utilizes the fruit of four different vineyards, at altitudes ranging from 945 metres to 1,524 metres, to create this full-bodied and concentrated wine. Generous black fruit, cassis and black pepper with sensual tannins. Enjoy with grilled pepper steak.
This dry, full-bodied and woody red displays a simple and medium nose. On the palate, its refreshing acidity, fleshy tannins, and broad texture precede a medium finish.
Catena Cabernet Sauvignon shows a dark violet colour with shades of rubies. On the nose it offers aromas of ripe black currant, sweet spice, red fruits and cassis. On the palate it displays layers of cassis, tobacco and black pepper. This cabernet sauvignon is an elegant wine.
This is solid, with dense but polished structure holding the weighty core of plum, fig paste and black currant preserves together. The dark, lengthy finish lets a nice Kenya AA coffee note chime in. (Wine Spectator, 90 Point)
