Jennifer Havers rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Consistently a great value. Aromas of black plum and currant, with some smoke and leather. Full bodied and smooth on the palate, with bright balancing acidity and ripe fruit on the palate. Great balance and a medium length finish. Enjoy with grilled sausages or a marinated steak.
Lise Charest Gagne rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Great value at this price point! Love the Mendoza cabs and this is a great example. Sick of uber bold grippy cab? You might like this one it's got some juicy notes without being jammy. Smooth plums, vanilla on the nose. Its concentrated and full body but smooth too. Black fruit, smoke and and medium finish! Enjoyed it on a weeknight with some chips.




Natalie's Review

Catena Cabernet Sauvignon 2015, Mendoza, Argentina: A smooth, full-bodied Argentine with notes of fleshy sweet plums and blackberries. Supple with a good finish. Savoury Argentine red wine made from the classic Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. Incredibly aromatic for Cabernet with aromas of black plums and smoke. Great value. Pair with grilled meats and steak.

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.
