  April 2, 2011 - A little extra bottle age has really benefited here. The 02 Cabernet from Catena shows generous aromas and flavors of black fruits, green herbs and spices. The round dusty tannins lead to a lenghty finish. This make me think $40+ Napa. - 91+pts

  January 9, 2011 - lacking any acidity.this was clearly over the hill.the drinking window is past. but decided to try anyway.laura catena was on wine library and touted the aging characteristics of their cabernets. when young these cabs tend to be very closed,so perhaps there is a relatively small window.catch them just right and get a bargain.

  March 12, 2009 - Kept in the cellar to see how it might develop. When young it was a raw cabernet but after a few years in bottle this has emerged as an excellent bottle. No age at the rim, full deep red colour, lovely cedary bouquet, very " old-world" full on the palate with round fruit & balancing tannin/acid and a long finish. Not claret perhaps, but near to it. I like it. Excellent value.
