2022 Luca "Old Vine" Malbec Valle de Uco Mendoza
95
James Suckling
Review Date: 02/2024Lots of mountain herbs, mussel shells and sour black cherries. Full, fleshy and fresh on the palate with fine, silty tannins and a juicy, rather minerally finish. Long and tight but caressing and pretty transparent and tactile on the palate. (ZS)

Notes
Luca is Laura Catena's passion project to rescue old vines and produce wines that express the history, soul, and genetic diversity of Mendoza's century-old vineyards. Luca purchases fruit from small growers, allowing these families to continue farming for another generation. She replants her vineyards using massale selections from Mendoza's 100-year-old vineyards. In 2023, she was given the first "Old Vine Hero" award by The Old Vine Conference. Luis Reginato works beside Laura as Luca's winemaker and the Vineyard Director for Catena Zapata Family Vineyards.
