2017 Catena Malbec Mendoza in half-size bottles! Perfect for a single sitting or when you want a glass or two of red with dinner. Better yet, this super fresh, berried up, elegant Malbec is made from arguably the best producer of the grape in the entire world. $11.10 per 375ml or the crazy good $9.90 per bottle when you load up on a case of these babies. Great for gifts– both for friends and for yourself.
To say 2017 was a good vintage at Bodega Catena Zapata would be understatement with their top Malbec getting a perfect 100 point score (and price tag) and then a few months after their release, they are named the #1 Wine Brand in the entire world by Drinks International. They are understandably flying high in Mendoza!
I was thrilled to be getting a call from these guys and though it’s a tad bit unconventional, a sub $10, 93-point half bottle gem from arguably the world’s best Malbec producer is an offer I was never going to pass up. This one is not too shabby for a Tuesday nighter. But like all wines we’ve ‘rescued’ from restaurant wine lists, this one won’t last long. Load up!

This is a dense and refined red with a minerality underneath. Full body, firm and silky with pretty blue fruit and light salt undertones. Shows tension and structure.

I compared the 2016 with the 2017 Catena Malbec, one of their most popular bottlings. Even though the vintage was not as cool as 2016, the wine keeps great freshness and elegance and is very harmonious, with integrated oak and focused flavors.

Winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val) continues to excel even while others struggle. In 2017, he still managed to deliver a beautiful and opulent Napa Valley Cabernet that’s both dark and juicy. The wine hails from both Coombsville and Rutherford, giving it distinct characteristics and a lot of drive. Deep ruby to the rim with excellent concentration, notes of Bing cherries, raspberry pie and hints of vanilla. On the palate, big wonderfully jammy fruit with young but impressive tannins and great length. The finish leaves notes of black cherry, and baked blueberry pie. Fantastic Napa value.

We are one of the very few folks who have Wine Spectator’s #3 Wine of the Year. This is definitely not one to miss. The 2016 vintage showcases this prized vineyard in all its glory; notes of wild black fruit, thyme, mint, eucalyptus, and bay are lifted and enjoyed with the polished tannin and mouthwatering freshness of this wine. Regarded as one of the best vintages in the last few decades, the 2016 Martha’s Vineyard has been aged to perfection for immediate enjoyment at release and will continue to reward for the next 20+ years.

“The 2018 Palmer is a legend in the making…This audacious Palmer was still revving its engines 48 hours after opening. There will never be another Palmer like this, sui generis. It was a massive risk. But by throwing caution to the wind, something extraordinary was born.” -100 points, Vinous
The newly released Fiancetto Howell Mt. Cabernet is a dream – a gorgeous, elegant dark-fruited Cabernet Sauvignon that is it picks up time in the glass, unfurls its full signature of cedar laced cassis nose and mid palate of chocolate-covered cherries and savory spices. Only four palates of this (224 cases) were made off a gorgeous, sprawling high elevation spot 1500 feet above sea level. It’s full and plush and finishes fresh and oh so long. The price is crazy for Howell Mountain Cabernet but that’s what Ry Richards and Fiancetto is all about.
