Winemaker's Notes

Nicolás Catena Zapata Red Blend 2020 is a powerful yet elegant wine that highlights the best of Argentina’s high-altitude vineyards. Crafted primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec, this blend offers a complex nose of blackcurrant, blackberry, and ripe plum, enhanced by floral notes of violet, hints of graphite, and a touch of dark chocolate. The palate is bold and full-bodied, showcasing concentrated flavors of dark fruits, licorice, and subtle spices, complemented by refined tannins and a vibrant acidity. The structure is impeccably balanced, with a smooth and lingering finish marked by layers of minerality and smoky oak.

Critic Ratings

James Suckling Review - Rated 98:

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% abernet 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. Drink or hold.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Review - Rated 96:

The 2020 Nicolás Catena Zapata is a blend composed of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Malbec and 20% Cabernet Franc sourced from Paraje Altamira in the Uco Valley. It was carefully aged for up to 16 months in French oak barrels. Garnet in hue. The nose reveals captivating cassis, rose, blackberry, plum and fig aromas harmoniously combined with dried flowers. The palate presents a dry and ample profile, with fine-grained tannins and a juicy flow that leads to a vibrant mouthfeel, brimming with energy. This meticulously crafted red achieves precise balance in a warm vintage.
