2011 Luca “Laborde Double Select” Syrah, Uco Valley, Mendoza, Argentina ($24)
Luca is not only the name of her son, but also this line of classy wines by vintner Laura Catena. An Argentinian who lives in the United States, Laura hails from wine royalty as her father, Nicolás Catena of Catena Zapata, is one of the founders of modern Argentina wine. This intensely hued and deeply powerful wine is made with vines that are an average of 50 years old and planted at at 3,500 feet altitude in the Uco Valley. It’s a stunning wine for lovers of big reds (especially for the price!).
