Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The red wines start with the medium ruby-colored 2007 Pinot Noir, sourced from a relatively young vineyard planted to Dijon clones. It was aged in 30% new French oak and bottled without fining or filtration. It offers up an alluring bouquet of wild strawberry, raspberry, saddle leather, spice box, and cedar. Medium to full-bodied, with intense, savory, spicy, red fruit flavors, this lengthy, complex effort will evolve for several years and be at its best from 2010 to 2018. It is a candidate for best Argentina Pinot Noir of the year. At the asking price, it is also a very good value.

Laura Catena is a fourth generation winemaker who grew up in a traditional Argentine-Italian winemaking family in Mendoza. Laura splits her time between Mendoza and San Francisco, California, where she is an emergency physician, university professor and occasional tango dancer. Laura had the vision of creating a new breed of Argentine wines: small quantities, artisan quality, and true to their individual terroirs. A pioneer of small-grower relations in Mendoza, Laura's incredible, limited production wines come from some of Argentina's best fruit from low-yield, high-elevation, family-owned vineyards. The wines are named after her children - Luca, Dante and Nicola - and symbolize her love for her family. The background of the label is the McDermott coat of arms of her American husband, Daniel McDermott.
