The 2007 Catena Malbec displays a level of intensity and complexity that is remarkable for a wine at this price, without taking the easy way out and simply making a wine that is "bigger" or more oaky. Made from fruit grown exclusively at Catena's four highest-altitude vineyards, there is surprising complexity and precision here, with ripe plum, black pepper, floral notes and minerality. The balance is impeccable.
