Item Description

2 Bottles Catena Zapata Adrianna Mundus Bacillus Terrae Malbec 2015

Wine Advocate  
From what many have called a Bordelais year, the 2015 Adrianna Vineyard Mundus Bacillus Terrae is slightly riper and a little lower in acidity, meaning it's more "civilized" than the previous and following vintages. All three years come from the same shallow soils that are rich in limestone and have a similar vinification and upbringing. These 2015s are more marked by the vintae than the other two, which seem to be more transparent to the terroir. This is my favorite of the 2015s. 4,800 bottles were filled in July 2017.

Gold In The Vineyards, signed by Dr. Laura Catena

When Catena is not making wine, practicing as a physician, and raising her family, writing has become a passion. Her first book, Vino Argentino: An Insider’s Guide to the Wines and Wine Country of Argentina, is on its third edition. Her most recent book, Gold in the Vineyards, has been a success in Argentina. She says, “I write better when I am drinking good wine.”
