Catena Zapata Argentino Malbec 2023 (750 ml) Tasting Notes

Catena Zapata Malbec Argentino 2023 is produced from old Malbec vines in the Catena family's Nicasia and Angelica vineyards in Mendoza. The two sites contribute grapes from La Consulta in the San Carlos area and Lunlunta in Maipu, giving the wine a high-altitude Argentine identity rooted in the family's historic selections.

The producer uses an extended cold maceration before fermentation, followed by a total maceration of approximately 25 to 38 days. Maturation lasts 15 to 18 months in large oak foudres and concrete tanks. The illustrated label traces Malbec's journey from France, through phylloxera, to its modern rebirth in Argentina.

Critic Ratings

James Suckling Review - Rated 95:

This has an intriguing combination of violets, crushed stones, underripe plums and a subtle touch of pepper on the nose. The palate is firm, with blue fruit, tight focused tannins and impressive concentration and depth. Structured yet long and beautiful. So harmonious. Drink now or hold.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Review - Rated 94:

A decidedly riper and more forward style than many of Catena Zapata's offerings, the 2023 Malbec Argentino combines ungrafted massal selections from two polar-opposite vineyard sources: the Angélica Vineyard in Maipú's Lunlunta district and Paraje Altamira's Nicasia Vineyard. It was vinified entirely in foudre with 20% whole clusters and aged for 12 months. The nose is deep and dark-fruited, welcomely lifted by a lovely floral component that builds with oxygen exposure. On the palate, it is velvety and rich yet impressively buoyant, transitioning to an explosive, ripe and powerful finish dominated by luscious fruits.
