winemaker's notes:

The Catena 1997 Malbec has a deep, dark violet color. The wine has a complex nose of black raspberry and red currant fruit with elements of smoke and spice. The mouth feel is soft and smooth with ripe flavors layered with notes of chocolate and toast. The wine is full bodied, with excellent balance, round, sweet tannins and a lengthy finish. -José Galante, Chief Winemaker

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.

Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
