Composed of 79% Malbec, 15% Bonarda and 6% Petit Verdot, the 2023 DV Catena Tinto Histórico pays tribute to Domingo Vicente Catena's red blends of the 1930s. It is quite pretty and refined on the nose, bringing together red fruit, licorice and dried-spice aromas that introduce a lush, texturally satisfying palate before concluding with a solid, lively finish.
