Zapata Birth of Cabernet 2022

- 94 points -

The 2022 Birth of Cabernet is 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc from El Cepillo and Agrelo. Purple with garnet glints in hue, it opens with cassis, blackberry and a touch of subtle oak. Juicy, plush and fine-grained, the palate gains depth and finishes with sustained fruit. The 2022 is a fresh, fruit-forward Cabernet with a clear, elegant expression.
