About Luca
From vineyards in Mendoza (Luan de Cuyo and Agrelo) and Uco Valley, winemaker Luis Reginato produces concentrated, classy Syrah, Pinot Noir, Malbec and Chardonnay, each bearing supple, fleshy textures and superb sweetness of fruit.

($50; 55% malbec, 25% petit verdot and 20% cabernet sauvignon) Deep ruby. Superripe aromas of cassis and licorice; verging on porty. Fat, lush and sweet but not especially deep, with a flamboyantly high-toned quality to the dark fruit and nutty oak flavors. Offers a distinctly open-knit texture and unrestrained quality for a wine from Laura Catena. Finishes a bit soft, with broad ripe tannins and more nutty oak. Conveys an impression of fast-ripening fruit and should provide early pleasure.
