1. Appearance
Clarity: Clear
Intensity: Medium
Color: Pale gold with a slight greenish hue, indicating both youthfulness and freshness.

2. Nose
Condition: Clean
Intensity: High
Aroma/Bouquet:
Fruit: Ripe lemon, green apple, pear, and hints of tropical fruits like pineapple
Flower: Subtle notes of white flowers, such as jasmine or acacia
Earth: Minimal earthy notes, more focused on mineral and stone qualities
Mineral: Distinct wet stone and flint, reflective of the vineyard’s rocky soil
Wood: Well-integrated oak, offering nuances of toast and a creamy, vanilla undertone

3. Palate
Sweetness: Dry
Acidity: High – lending a crisp, refreshing quality that balances the richness of the fruit
Tannin: N/A – not applicable for this white wine
Flavor Character:
Fruit: Continuation of complex fruit flavors, with lemon and apple being prominent, alongside more exotic notes of melon and peach
Flower: Floral elements are delicate, enhancing the fruit's freshness
Earth: Not prominently earthy, with a focus on purity and precision
Mineral: Pronounced mineral characteristics, providing a backbone and a sense of place
Wood: Subtle oak that complements the wine without dominating, adding layers of brioche and spice

Body/Alcohol: Medium to full-bodied, with a moderate alcohol level that is well-integrated into the wine’s structure

Conclusion

Quality with Respect to Price: The 2019 Bodega Catena Zapata Chardonnay White Stones is a premium wine from a highly respected producer, reflecting its prestigious vineyard source. It offers considerable value for its price, especially for connoisseurs who appreciate a sophisticated, terroir-driven Chardonnay.

Maturity with Respect to Ageing: This wine shows beautifully now with its balance of fruit, acidity, and minerality, but it also has the potential to age gracefully, developing more nuanced and integrated flavors over the next 5-10 years.

Food and Wine Pairing: Ideal with rich seafood dishes, such as lobster or scallops, creamy risottos, or poultry in a creamy sauce. Its structure and acidity also make it suitable for pairing with dishes that have a citrus or herbal accent.

An elegant and well constructed wine. Full to medium bodied, ripe dark fruits with aromas of blackberries and rasberries, harmonious tannins and a soft finish. Can't go wrong with a Catena!

2019 Bodega Catena Zapata Malbec Nicasia Vineyard

5/1/2024 - PacoHigon Likes this wine: NR

Este vino nace en la provincia de Mendoza, en el Paraje de Altamira se encuentra el viñedo Nicasia es el único de Malbec de la familia Catena plantado con clones propios. Picota cubierto. Nariz intensa, con carácter, notas de maderas final y matices especiados, sobre un fondo tanto de fruta roja como especialmente de negra, tinta china, cacao, algo de humo. En boca el ataque es bueno, con bastante cuerpo, tanino firme aún por pulir, buena frescura, atractivos amargos, estructura media, buen desarrollo y notable longitud. Muy buena presencia aunque aún ganará con algo más de botella.

We drank this out of plastic glasses on a cold evening at a campsite. I saw it in Tesco for £11, and thought it surprisingly deep and complex for a wine of this cheapness, but conditions were hardly ideal. Might be worth getting another bottle to try it at home.

This was very pale with green hue; Clear herbal, minty nose, green apple, some slightly underripe orchard and trop fruits, light and bright on the palate compared to the Rhys wines; clean, interesting, lots going on, but didn't seem to act too chard-like. Probably the extremely high altitude this was grown on. Interesting, would be great with the right foods (as it was with the salad with green onions and herbs). EWG chard/cabs dinner Glendora CC.
This is ridiculously expensive for this wine at $136.

Very New World chardonnay.....
On nose: starchy note of green banana, and dry wisp of vanilla.
On palate: above flavour notes prominent, with meyer lemon, green apple peel, faint oak gall, all displayed on a medium, mildly acidic body....pleasant, but not fully rounded up and developed yet( very young at 2 years of age).....give this time.

Definitely a great wine. Concentrated black cherry. Some licorice, spice and tobacco, but not so implicit yet. Long finish. My impression it was perhaps a bit early for this one. Even on day two it hadn’t calmed down. But that’s a matter of taste too.

Popped in poured on this one. Super smooth. As if it has been again for a while longer than it actually has. Everything is kind of in sync . Flows like water. This is drinking great right out of the bottle. Revisit in one hour.

WS Grand Tour (Walkaround Tasting) (New Orleans): Not a huge Malbec fan normally but this breaks the mold for me. Drinking so nicely right now. Rich mature fruits, chocolate and spices. Descriptors sound almost port-like but the fruit is more restrained than that and it would be a perfect dinner wine.
This is a buy for dinner parties with almost winos.

Fruit still very strong, along with some pleasant mushroom that adds richness. Smooth, dry, slightly spicy palate. Firm, medium intensity tannins on the longish finish.

Tasted this at Wine Spectator’s Grand Tour in New Orleans. This was a very nice surprise. Who says Argentinian wines don’t age well? My wife and DQ may have liked this even more than I did.

A great Malbec. Also not getting the tannin punch that some reference; they seem nicely integrated to me. Early in its window and clocking at 13.5%; no alcohol heat. This is savory & exceptional.

At 10 years of age, it is at its peak. Lots of dark fruit, like plums, followed by notes of leather, tabaco and spices. In the mouth, opulent, well balanced with soft tannins, medium acidity and a long finish.

Intense nose, loads of blackcurrant and black cherry, some cherry liqueur, alongside oaky notes of vanilla, chocolate, and brown sugar. The palate is likewise pretty plummy and concentrated, but with a pleasant red-cherry acidity, and a finish of fleshy plumminess plus herbaceous and bitter notes. I really wish there was more structure here – it feels big and fat – but there’s a reason this is a go-to for fans of big, oaky wines. And I have to say I still enjoyed myself.

PNP. Did not standout in a blind lineup of other South American Malbec and Cab-Malbec blends. Still too young,
though tannins were round. Character of Cabernet Sauvignon seemed muffled. Probably should have been decanted. Tasted more textural like Malbec than Cab though latter dominant in blend

A great Malbec that continues to evolve nicely. Notes similar to my last tasting in 2022. This wine is highly extracted with bold dark fruit, well balanced with velvety mouthfeel and long finish.

Beautiful nose. Gave it two hours of air. Drinking spectacular also at this price point. Nice red fruit flavors with low tannins an good structure. Good acidity. Goes Better with the beef enchiladas I’m having with it.

Revisited the wine 6 days later. Not as strong as it was prior. Drink in the first few days.
