Nicolás Catena Zapata 2001
Mendoza, ArgentinaZapata, Catena's super-Argentine red, takes its name from Nicolas Catena's mother and also lends its moniker to the company's newest and most advanced Mendoza winery. Although Alamos, Catena and Catena Alta are made on-site, the flagship red is Zapata. The blend changes each year but in '01 Zapata, is a 40/35/10/10/5 blend of cabernet sauvignon, malbec, petit verdot, merlot and cabernet franc all of which spends 24 month sin New French oak. The fruit is the very best (all vineyard selection) handle with precision. Look for a Bordelais style here with black cherry plum and resiny tobacco aromas and flavours. Solid well made wine if not as compelling as the Alta malbec for this taster.Tasted: 16 April 2006Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $125.00 | 750ml | speculative listing - Calibrium |
