The Catena family has been making wine in Mendoza since 1902, when Argentinian wine pioneer Nicolas Catena first saw the potential in the Andes mountains vineyards for producing super high quality Malbec.
Eventually, winemaking duties were transferred away from the Catenas to the self-described restless winemaker Alejandro Vigil, a transition that has made all the difference for the iconic winery. Since Alejandro’s tenure started in 2007, he has seen over 50(!) wines rated 95 points or higher from all the big publications including The Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, James Suckling and the Wine Enthusiast and twice been awarded Winery of the Year from both Wine Enthusiast and Wine & Spirits
But his secret sauce isn’t what you may think… it’s actually data.
With the help of Nicolas Catena’s daughter, Laura, the two have studied their vineyard’s numbers and yields for the past 30 years plot by plot, revealing what each parcel brings to the table, how soil comes into and what each elevation does to the wine. Their new more scientific approach has been paying dividends.

A fragrant nose full of vivid strawberries and sweet cherries. Tight and lightly chewy on the palate with plenty of fruit. Juicy, balanced and quite drinkable.

The new release is here from outstanding winemaking team of Michel Rolland, Charles Thomas, Andy Erickson and David Jelenik. This one always represents one of the best quality-to-price ratios in all of Napa Cab and in the stellar 2021 vintage, this really stands out as one of the best the Valley has to offer. It’s a racy mix of Coombsville fruit from Atlas Peak that absolutely roars out of the bottle. Always one of Napa’s great bargains and a must have even as the price starts to sneak up here a little bit.
Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!

Domaine Jaume Vinsobres Altitude 420 is an old-vine Grenache-Syrah blend from vineyards planted in Les Collines at some of the highest points in the Rhône. The Jaumes have farmed these dizzying elevations at their estate in Vinsobres for 100+ years. The 2020 is one of his best yet, pristine and fresh, a bowl full of berried-up fruit yet with the tension and length that belies its humble price. Incredible bang for the buck, tailor-made for anyone’s house red, and a slam dunk for any kind of meat on the bone.
As soon as you take the first sip on this one, you can easily see the Burgundian connection. Doglia’s Ruche di Castagnole Monferrato 2022 is medium bodied with scents of fresh cut lavender. On the palate, it’s an absolute delight, full of flavor but with an acid backbone that make it perfect to pair with almost any cuisine. Notes of wild fruits and a touch of pepper are just so good. This is a silky smooth, delicious bottle of wine.
