Catena is almost equivalent to Argentine quality wine, as Nicolas Catena was the true pioneer and is still the most important wine personality in Argentina...They are so forward thinking and smart as they are still at the head of quality wines in the country, doing amazing research and never resting on their laurels. Alejandro Vigil is one of the most passionate and intuitive winemakers on Earth, and he’s also completely crazy about wine...We need more of these champions in the wine world. The result can be no other than superb wines, with some groundbreaking whites that could compete with the finest white Burgundies and the most amazing Malbecs you can think of.

Nicolás Catena Zapata 2020

Mendoza, Argentina 606665 | 6x750ml | CDK $154.99* * Suggested retail price				- 98 Points - - #12 Top 100 Wines of Argentina - James Suckling, November 2023 Cassis, tobacco, wet stones, iron and baking spices to the nose, showing class, restraint and complexity. Medium- to full-bodied on the palate with super fine tannins. Dry, super elegant and silky with a lengthy, polished finish. Really Bordeaux-like. Juicy and long. 54% cabernet sauvignon from Gualtallary, 25% cabernet franc from Altamira and 21% malbec from both areas. The highest portion of cabernet franc this year helped retain its nervy freshness! This is classy and beautiful. Harvested on March 12th and 13th.

CATENA
Zapata Adrianna Vineyard Fortuna Terrae 2020

Mendoza, Argentina 33561 | 3x750ml | CDK $146.99* * Suggested retail price				- 98 Points - Wine Advocate, November 2022 The 2020 Adrianna Vineyard Fortuna Terrae shows exceptionally well. It's still young and juicy with some baby fat that should get rendered with some more time in bottle. It's a little lighter, and the tannins gave it grip and a chalky limestone sensation. But the wine is very expressive, with purity, clean and precise and not showing any signs of coming from a warmer year like 2020. It finishes with the telltale violets from the great Malbec grape coated by chalky minerality. This plot behaves well in warmer years like this one.

CATENA
Zapata Malbec Nicasia 2020

Mendoza, Argentina 461707 | 6x750ml | Spec $117.05* * Suggested retail price				- 97 Points - James Suckling, August 2023 A mixture of black and blue fruit, very perfumed and elegant. Cherries, plums and blueberries with a peppery undertone. Crushed violets, too. Bone-dry on the palate with abundant, silky tannins and a juicy, lengthy finish.
