Catena Alta Malbec 2003 - 94 Points - Ranked Number 34
"Flashy, yet seductive. Vivid purple and blue frits are layered with exotic mocha and spice notes. Long and powerful, but creamy and pure on the finish, with fine acidity stretching it out."

Catena Malbec 2004
Catena has done more work on Malbec than any other winery, and the results are evident in its wines. This is a savoury, densely structured red with masses of colour and even more fruit.

Argentime Vintners Go Global
The Washington Times, Nov. 2, 2005, Paul Lukacs
"As seems true just about everywhere in the winemaking world these days, Argentine vintners make plenty of chardonnay. And proving that the country is capable of making truly worldclass wine from this most popular white grape variety, Catena "Alta" 2002 ($30) tastes rich and creamy, with a superb structure and a long, evolving finish."
"Catena Alta 2002 ($45) costs significantly more, but then it's a remarkably complete wine, displaying an elegance and finesse to which few malbecs even aspire. This special-occasion wine, while delicious now, should get even better with five years or so in bottle."
"Perhaps even more elegant and complete, Nicolas Catena Zapata 2001 ($85) offers a wonderfully complex bouquet, followed by ripe fruit held in beautiful balance by firm but not astringent tannins."
"These are three wines of genuine finesse and sophistication - some of the very finest from a country that is sending more and more fine wines to our shores every year."

Catena Alta Malbec 2002 - 93 POINTS
Deftly toasted, with vanilla and mocha suavely intertwined with lush plum, blackberry and boysenberry fruit. Long, plush and smoky through the finish where fruit takes and encore.
Catena Alta Chardonnay 2002 - 92 POINTS
Exotic, with dried pineapple and mango fruit layered with mineral, floraland piecrust flavors. Bright and tangy throughout, with a long, pure, fruit-filled finish. Very classy.

Malbec Will Make it Big
“By the year 2015, the greatness of Argentinean wines made from the Malbec grape will be understood as a given. This French varietal, which failed so miserably on its home soil in Bordeaux, has reached startling heights of quality in Argentina. Both inexpensive, delicious Malbecs and majestic, profoundly complex ones from high-elevation vineyards are already being produced, and by 2015 this long-ignored grape's place in the pantheon of noble wines will be guaranteed.”
Food & Wine Magazine, September 2004, Robert Parker Jr.

"Argentina’s high altitude wines are best for your heart"
Catena cabernet sauvignon wines from Argentina are shown to be 2 to 6 times more potent than a selection of red wines from France, Spain, Italy, Chile and Australia.
Are wines from high altitude vineyards better than any other wines at preventing heart attacks? Recent research by Professor Roger Corder, head of the Department of Experimental Therapeutics at the William Harvey Research Institute in London, supports this hypothesis.
