Our take
What we make of this bottle
Bodega Catena is a Malbec, and while its average so far is a top 5 out of five, that figure rests on just 1 rating. One voice is a narrow base for a score like that, and it reads better as a first impression than a finished judgment.
Malbec started out in France and became the most widely planted wine grape in Argentina. Grape research describes it as usually making a deeply colored wine with a solid but approachable structure. Argentina's wine regulator points to plum, blackberry, cherry and violet as common reference points, with a robust body and clear acidity, and notes that altitude, weather and choices in the cellar can leave a given wine fresher, firmer or riper. The lowest observed price was $22.99, in our September 2026 checks.
We have not confirmed a producer account for this particular wine, so the grape and the score are the surest things to go on for now. In those same September 2026 checks, the most any store asked was $30.99.
