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.

Aromas of plums, dark cherries, blueberries, tar and crushed stones. It’s medium bodied with round, velvety tannins. Dark-fruited and smooth.

“The 2020 Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is truly sensational. It begins with striking aromas of fresh blackberries, blueberries and dark plums that are laced with fresh spring florals, mocha, sweet exotic spices, graphite and gravel nuances all taking shape. The palate is full-bodied and displays a remarkable combination of power and elegance throughout. This is beautifully structured and extremely expressive, as it possesses outstanding depth and concentration all they way through the long, finessed finish. Year after year, the Columbia Valley Cabernet is one of the most impressive wines, and there is no exception here, as it combines all the wonderful qualities of the 2020 vintage from Quilceda Creek into one expression. This is fantastic already and readers will be in for a real treat, as this simply marvelous wine will continue to deliver the goods for years to come.”
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.

This is a really exciting new release in the collection of single-vineyards from the Wagner Family, and arguably the most interesting one of the bunch. This is the only Pinot Noir in the Caymus collection that has the advantage of being from a natural Pinot Noir haven in the Russian River Valley. Dairyman Vineyard’s proximity to the pacific ocean, with its morning fog and afternoon coastal breezes allows for an even and elongated growing season, with super concentrated and expressive grape clusters that help make this Dijon clone Pinot Noir one that you need.
Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!
