Robert Parker

Luis Gutiérrez

As with most Cabernet Sauvignon from Catena, the 2019 Catena Alta Cabernet Sauvignon is not a 100% varietal wine but a blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Cabernet Franc, as Cabernet Sauvignon on its own is often not complete enough. The Cabernet Franc must have given it an extra kick of freshness, increasing the already fresh character of the year. The palate is medium-bodied with plenty of herbal and fresh flavors and very fine, varietal tannins. 30,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in October 2019.

Blackberries, wild raspberries, currants, lemon leaves, licorice and dried spices on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with firm, silky tannins. Very fine and precise. Fantastic freshness. Drink or hold.

Joaquín Hidalgo

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Catena Alta has a 4% dash of Cabernet Franc and is made with grapes from Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley and aged for 18 months in varied use French barrels. Garnet red with a violet sheen, the aromas offer intense notes of ripe blackcurrant and plum with hints of mint, herbs, cedar and vanilla over gentle scents of red pepper. Presenting grippy tannins in the mouth, the palate is compact in spite of the volume and moderate freshness. A rich, characterful wine.

Description

An intense, silky Argentine wine

The estate

A pioneer, Nicola Catena founded Bodega Catena Zapata in 1902 and planted his first Malbec parcels within the exceptional vineyards of Mendoza in Argentina.

This family-owned estate, in constant pursuit of excellence, experienced a new boom when it was taken over in the 1960s by Nicolás Catena Zapata. Wishing to revolutionize the production methods of Argentine wines, Nicolás Catena Zapata drew inspiration from Napa Valley winemaking and unveiled new high-altitude terroirs to showcase the expression of the grape varieties.

Nicknamed “the Grand Cru of South America,” Bodega Catena Zapata is an international benchmark praised by critics for the finesse and elegance of its Argentine wines.
