Benjamin Darnault Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2023 vs Catena Alta Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Catena Alta Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Catena Alta' s Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from select rows in two of the Catena family's Andean vineyards. The blend from the two historic rows, like the marriage of sounds that create a symphony, yields a robust wine that speaks for earth and the vines that have been tended by the Catenas for four generations - these guys have been going since 1902, they are sure to know a thing or ten about good quality wines. Packed full of fantastic blackcurrant flavours, with notes of mind and dark chocolate. Ripe tannins and a full bodied red smooth texture. Before the world recognized Catena’s Argentina as “malbec country”, the winery was known for its old-world style Cabernet Sauvignon born in the clay-soils of Agrelo. The family cherishes its historic Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards in Agrelo and Tupungato, particularly for their age ability and classic flavours. Made from 94% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Cabernet Franc.
