The DNA tag on the label refers to Casarena’s “DNA” wine series, a carefully crafted tier highlighting vineyard diversity and artisanal precision.

The Casarena 2011 Malbec is a polished, fruit-driven wine with floral aromatics, good acidity, refined tannins, and balanced oak integration—scored in the high‑80s by critics.

Now in mature phase, it offers plum, tobacco, and spice complexity with a long, mineral-laced finish. It represents both Mendoza terroir and Casarena’s elevated approach, offering appeal to fans of structured yet approachable Malbec.
