Reviews and Ratings

For over 100 years, the Catena family has been making wine in Argentina. Their Alamos line is characterized by outstanding fruit concentration and moderate oak ageing. With this Chardonnay, expect a bold, crowd-pleasing wine with layers of generous tropical fruit and pear flavours meshing with some creamy oak notes.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
