Description
Vintage after vintage, this aromatic, velvety-textured and fruity Pinot sourced from vines planted at an average of 4,710 feet rewards Laura Catena's faith in the region. Complex, layered and long, it is a great reflection of the poor soils of the area that stress the vines and encourage wines of even greater concentration and complexity.

Tasting Notes
A deep, dark-berry nose with some underbrush character and discreet, smoky and savory notes, making this a complex pinot noir for Argentina or in any context. Real concentration and fine-tannin structure that beautifully matches the lively acidity. Very long, mineral finish. Spicy. Partially whole-berry ferment gives this intensity. Drink or hold. Score - 95. (James Suckling, jamessuckling.com, Dec. 9, 2019)
