Catena La Consulta Malbec 2022

“The 2022 Malbec Appellation La Consulta comes from old vines planted in San Carlos, Uco Valley. Aged for up to 13 months in French oak barrels (one-third new), this purple-red wine reveals ripe fruit aromas of plum marmalade and violets, with a hint of white pepper. On the palate, it is dry, rich and creamy, with plush tannins and a juicy texture that lingers with a lasting, flavorful finish.” — Vinous, May 2024
