"Dark and jammy, with enough acidity to propel the roasted plum and wild berry compote notes. Layers of smoke, toasted spice and espresso emerge on the rich finish. Drink now through 2016." Nathan Wesley, August 2013 Find CATENA wines at the BCLDB - Click for store availability

"The 2011 Alamos Malbec, raised the same way as the Cabernet Sauvignon, has a simple bouquet of dark cherries, blueberry and crushed violet. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent, fine tannins. There is a seductive sense of harmony here with a light but insistent grip and a minerally aftertaste. This Malbec is very well-crafted. Drink now-2017."

"A blend of 60% malbec with equal parts of syrah and bonarda, this has notes of violets and ripe cherries over an earthy minerality. While it's a middleweight in fact, the tension in the structure gives this the power of a heavyweight boxer." October 2012 Find LA POSTA wines at the BCLDB - Click for store availability
