Bodega Catena Zapata
Nicolas Catena Zapata Mendoza Cabernet Sauvignon Malbec
Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina
Plums, blackberries, blueberries, cedar, graphite, incense, sweet vanilla. Silky texture with juicy dark fruit flavors on entry, exuberant midpalate with licorice, espresso, and dark chocolate with a long spicy finish filled with sweet silky tannins. A symphony on the palate, so fucking delicious!

1 person found it helpfulJan 4th, 2016Made of 72% of Cabernet Sauvignon and 28% of Malbec, it spent 18 months in French oak barrel - and now more than 10 years in the jeroboam - what a treat it was to have this intense, elegant and rich wine - a unique moment shared with Laura Catena and the team of bodega Catena Zapata 😀 and for sure some local slow grilled Argentinian to perfect it 😋

Very deep rich plum and dark fruit. Intense and lush. Quite alcoholic. Gorgeous fruit- a bit simple.

Apr 16th, 2017Deeply aromatic vanilla oaky bouquet; inky, deeply saturated purple color; cassis, black currants, great structure from Cabernet-Malbec blend provides great structure and well-rounded tannins.
