Malbec 50%, Cabernet Franc 20%, Cabernet Sauvignon 20%, Merlot 10% all co-fermeted, 30% of which in large old oak barrels, it's another beauty from the Michelini madhouse (Gerardo). Inky black purple colour; really forward and fresh on a nose redolent of black cherries and blackcurrants. Big and powerful but silky in texture and amazingly approchable for such a young wine. Gorgeous.

In each of the three ranges from this winery - Serbal, Catalpa and Atamisque - there is a blend, an assemblage. Catalpa Assemblage is comprised of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec in varying proportions depending on the vintage. 60% of this wine is aged for 12 months in new French oak barrels, 40% in stainless steel prior to blending and a further 6 months in bottle prior to release. Crafted in a fairly extravagant style this is a lovely, plump, velvet textured delight with clever use of oak in evidence, capable of developing very nicely for 8 - 10 years.

Grapes were destemmed, sorted and crushed into small batches for ferment. Wines were fermented with wild yeast, gaining layered complexity. Extended time on skins post fermentation gave the wine greater depth and savoury characteristics. The wine was pressed, and racked to oak for maturation. It was then left to evolve in oak for 16 months before blending for bottling.
