Malbec 2019

- 95 points -

Another generously plush and polished malbec is from Laura Catena’s winery, Luca: the Luca Malbec Valle de Uco Old Vine 2019. Catena, who is also managing director of her family’s Bodega Catena Zapata, was the first to bottle old-vine malbec in Argentina, and fruit for this wine comes from vines with an average age of over 50 years, planted throughout Mendoza’s Uco Valley. It’s deep and intense and will mellow with more time in the cellar.
