Tikal Natural Malbec Mendoza 2009 (750ML)Ernesto Catena is a Renaissance man of the world, but one who's heart and passion lies in his native Argentina. So much so, that Catena has been utterly committed to natural winemaking processes (he organically farms and hand-harvests his grapes right now, but Catena is moving ever-closer to biodynamics). The care of his craft shows great, true expression of fruit here-muscular blackberry, black plum, and chocolate, and yet with a pretty turn of sweet herbs, spice, cedar, and espresso on the finish that hangs on and we think goes great with a seared hanger steak on the grill. -- PJ Code: W00767
