Catena Zapata Malbec 2021

$17.00

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.

91 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
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.
