When you talk about sheer dominance in a region, there’s probably nothing quite like Catena Zapata’s stronghold in Argentina. Led by their legendary winemaker and visionary, Nicolas Catena Zapata, the winery has reached unbelievable heights of late bolstering an already impressive hallway of trophies with a bevy of 100-point scores.
They’re used to getting some, but lately, it’s been like an onslaught of enormous scores. That’s to pair with the lifetime achievement award that Nicolas Catena Zapata was given by Wine Enthusiast in 2021, along with Decanter’s Man of the Year Award and Wine Spectator’s Distinguished Service Award.
His legacy is unmatched; his winemaking prowess has helped launch Argentine wines into a new echelon that most resembles the ascent of Napa Valley wines 20 years ago. That’s the power of Catena Zapata.
Their Estate ‘High Mountain Vines’ Malbec is a master class in Malbec. It’s a special blend that comes from Laura Catena and superstar winemaker Alejandro Vigi. Part of what makes it so special is all the fruit comes from the winery’s three highest elevation sites. We’re talking 4,750, 3,020 ft and 3,600 ft above sea level respectively. Insane.

The juicy and young 2021 Catena Malbec has a nice combination of spice, berry and herbs to make it balanced, expressive and attractive. It’s round, velvety and nicely crafted in an easy to understand and highly drinkable style and a commercial profile. A champion in drinkability.
91 Points, James Suckling
Aromas of plums, dark cherries, blueberries, tar and crushed stones. It’s medium bodied with round, velvety tannins. Dark-fruited and smooth.
It’s always nice to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! These won’t last long! This is an opulent, powerful dark-fruited Cabernet with tightly woven tannins, that is just raring and ready to go. Textbook, full-bodied, revved up and ready to go, this new Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet is the definition of a crowd pleaser.
#3 Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2021
96 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 95 Points, Wine Spectator
We are one of the very few folks who have Wine Spectator’s #3 Wine of the Year. This is definitely not one to miss. The 2016 vintage showcases this prized vineyard in all its glory; notes of wild black fruit, thyme, mint, eucalyptus, and bay are lifted and enjoyed with the polished tannin and mouthwatering freshness of this wine. Regarded as one of the best vintages in the last few decades, the 2016 Martha’s Vineyard has been aged to perfection for immediate enjoyment at release and will continue to reward for the next 20+ years.
#24 Wine of the Year (2022), Wine Spectator
92 Points, Wine Spectator – 91 Points, James Suckling
“This supple red shows a core of cherry and plum fruit allied to olive, juniper and tobacco notes. Delivers well-integrated tannins and acidic structure, lingering nicely on the finish.”
91 Points, Wine Enthusiast
Always the one with the most personality of the bunch, this is what Wine Enthusiast had to say about the 2021 release: “This extremely ripe and bold style of Pinot Noir will please those seeking such lushness. Dark in the glass, it begins with black cherry, toasty caramel and cola milk shake aromas.” The cool, coastal days and abundance of sunshine lines up perfectly for a wine that has a good natural acidic backbone, with bold fruit-forward flavors. In an easy 2021 vintage, Joe Wagner had a field day with this single-vineyard beauty.
