Summary

The Nicolás Catena Zapata 2011 is a prestigious red blend, primarily composed of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Malbec, sourced from high-altitude vineyards in Argentina. This vintage, marked by cooler temperatures and lower yields, showcases a complex profile with aromas of dark berries, chocolate, and nuanced spices. The wine is full-bodied and demonstrates a polished structure with vibrant acidity and well-integrated tannins. Its flavors of cassis, plum, and mint, along with hints of leather and mocha, contribute to a rich and profound tasting experience. Aged for 18-24 months in French oak, this wine is both graceful now and has significant aging potential.
