THE CATENA MALBEC...presents a deep violet color. This microclimate blend of four unique vineyards offers intense aromas, a soft texture, and concentrated flavor. Deep aromas of ripe red and dark fruits are joined by delicate violet and lavender notes, with traces of vanilla and mocha. A rich, concentrated mouthfeel is highlighted by flavors of blueberries and blackberries with a touch of sweet spice, and leather. The wine finishes with bright acidity, well-integrated and silky tannins, and a flinty minerality that lingers on the palate.
The Catena Malbec would be a wonderful complement to robust red meat dishes.
W I N E D E S C R I P T I O NWhite Bones Chardonnay comes from select rows within Block 1 of the Adrianna Vineyard. The
wine is fermented and aged in French oak barrels with about two-thirds undergoing malolactic
fermentation. The name refers to the soil underneath these rows, which is layered with calcareous
deposits and limestone as well as fossilized bones – the remnants of a river that used to pass
through the region. T A S T I N G N O T E SThe Catena Zapata White Bones Chardonnay has a bright lemon yellow color in the glass. The
nose shows an excellent mélange of citrus and white fruit notes with vanilla. The mouthfeel is rich
and concentrated, showing ripe pear, apple and apricot flavors with salty notes. The finish shows
bright, clean acidity and wonderful length. F O O D P A I R I N GThe is a rich, full-bodied Chardonnay that nonetheless possesses a crisp acidity making it the
perfect foil for meatier fish like tuna and swordfish as well as seafood dishes prepared with butter
and cream. Try this wine with a dish like Roasted Monkfish with Cardinal Sauce for an
unforgettable meal.
