Catena Malbec (Argentina, 2005)

Category: Malbec — Mike @ 4:40 pm

	This is a Malbec from the Mendoza region in Argentina.
	$18 from Costco

Spicy aromas with a hint of marmalade. Oak flavors with higher tannins. Decanting is recommended. Tastes of dried cherries. Like a person who floats around from one group of friends to another group of friends….they come and go as they please and you never know when they are going to show up… but when they do show up, they are usually pretty fun to hang out with.

You are right, it is pretty pricey. We enjoyed that bottle over at my bro-in-law’s place so it didn’t concern me too much since it wasn’t my $18! We have not tried Pascual Toso, but we will have to seek that one out. Thanks for the suggestion!

$18 is pricey for Malbec when there are so many good ones available for less than $10. Have you had the Pascual Toso
