Robert Parker Scores from August 28, 2015- Reviewed by Luis Gutierrez
CATENA ZAPATA
MALBEC ARGENTINO 2011
“A blend of grapes from Adrianna (Gualtallary) and Nicasia (Altamira)
vineyards in the Uco Valley. There is a seamless granularity with the
tannins that go in a straight line, and keep going and going. Super.”
CATENA ZAPATA
MALBEC ARGENTINO 2012
“The palate is concentrated yet feels light. Balance, harmony, power
and freshness.”
CATENA ZAPATA
NICASIA VINEYARD MALBEC 2011
“The 2011 Malbec Catena Zapata Nicasia Vineyard is a single-vineyard
Malbec that was barrel fermented with 8% whole-cluster Cabernet Franc.
There is perfect ripeness and ultra-polished tannins that are juicy and
very tasty.”
CATENA ZAPATA
NICASIA VINEYARD MALBEC 2012
“An elegant nose and the palate almost reflects the tension in the skin of
the grapes with its a velvety texture and great acidity. This is really tasty
and long, it could be the best Nicasia ever produced.”

CATENA ZAPATA
ADRIANNA VINEYARD MALBEC 2011
“The sense of place here is tremendous, it transfers you to the Gualtallary
vineyards at the foot of the Andes with its stony, chalky soils. There is a
sense of harmony and subtlety like you rarely see. The wine dances on
the tongue and seems light on its feet, yet has a hidden power and
concentration that is noticeable on the finish. The flavors stay forever on
the finish and the lips are salty. Otherworldly. Words do not do justice to
this beauty. It goes far beyond the variety, I didn't think about Malbec, I
thought about the place and forgot about the grapes. The flavors linger
in your mouth forever. I'd love to encounter this wine again in ten
years’ time.”
CATENA ZAPATA
ADRIANNA VINEYARD MALBEC 2012
“Aromas of peach, red and black cherries with a spicy twist. The palate is
really intense, with electric acidity and ultra-fine tannins. It ends very
tasty and long.”
