Malbec from Catena Zapata High Altitude Vineyards

Experience Elegance in Every Sip: Catena Zapata Malbec 2022

Discover Argentina’s iconic Mendoza terroir through this exquisite Malbec from Bodegas Catena Zapata—a consistent high-scorer with dual 92-point accolades from top critics. Crafted from select high-altitude vineyards across four microclimates, this vibrant red showcases deep violet hues with purple glints—a visual prelude to its layered complexity.

On the nose, indulge in an aromatic dance of ripe plums and wild blueberries lifted by delicate floral whispers of violets and lavender—subtly enhanced by vanilla-mocha undertones from expert oak aging. The palate unfolds luxuriously with velvety textures reminiscent of blackberry preserves interwoven with exotic cinnamon spice and refined leather accents. Fine-grained tannins create an exceptionally smooth mouthfeel while bright acidity energizes each sip—culminating in a lingering mineral finish kissed by flinty precision at just 13.6% ABV.

Ideal alongside herb-crusted lamb or mushroom risotto yet equally captivating solo—this balanced masterpiece offers immediate enjoyment while promising graceful evolution over 5-7 years. Celebrate Argentina’s flagship varietal where artistry meets approachability—a testament to why discerning collectors cherish Catena’s vineyard-blended craftsmanship season after season.
