| Nicolás Catena helped revolutionize Argentina's wine industry after visiting California in the 1980s. This, his benchmark Malbec, has rich blackberry, blueberry, dark chocolate, exotic spices and mint. For grilled sausages, aged steaks or rare roast beef. This magnum size of our popular Essential (+478727) is perfect for dinner parties. |
