2006 Bodega Catena Zapata Chardonnay Catena Alta
Argentina, Mendoza
Everyone's flipping over this wine, but really...
leaner pineapple on the nose. a hint too much oak for my taste. spicy, not quite tropical. not my style.Post a Comment / Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No

2005 Bodega Catena Zapata Malbec Adrianna Vineyard
Argentina, Mendoza, Valle de Uco, Gualtallary
higher fruit in the nose. much more of a stoney expression. coffee on the nose too. most lively and cellar worthy structure out of the bunch so far.

2005 Bodega Catena Zapata Malbec Argentino
Argentina, Mendoza
great ethereal aromatics. like smelling gold dust in the wind. razor raspberry fruit. hints of anise, but elegant on the nose. cocoa at the finish. most tannic expression out of the line. this is their top malbec bottling, so why not???

2005 Bodega Catena Zapata Malbec Catena Alta
Argentina, Mendoza
aromatic coffee notes. shows more rustic nature than the straight catena malbec. again, palate shows very smooth fruit. so approachable.
