Bodega Catena Zapata Catena Malbec 2022
The Wine
92 points Joaquin Hidalgo, Vinous 'The 2022 Malbec originates from the Uco Valley and is a blend of various regions and winemaking techniques. Purple in hue. The nose reveals enticing notes ranging from crushed plums to violets atop a faintly herbal backdrop. Indulgent and juicy, the plush texture and refreshing flow lead to a rich and satisfyingly long-lasting palate. This wine is built upon different components that come together to achieve a relatively complex flavor. Drink 2023-2032.'
92 points JamesSuckling.com 'A very well-made malbec with a mixture of red and black cherries, roasted spices and graphite. This is quite juicy and tight on the palate with good intensity and a fresh and flavorful finish. Drink now.'

About the Wine Maker 
Nicola Cantena planted his first Malbec vineyard in Mendoza in 1902 and today the estate is run by Nicholás Cantena and his daughter Laura. Malbec continues to be the estate's focus and the winery's pristine vineyards lie at the base of the Andes on soils of sand, lime and stone at altitudes between 920 and 1120 metres above sea level. Over the last 20 years, the fastidious vineyard work of Nicholas and Laura has paid dividends and Catena Zapata is now one of Argentina's most famous estates. Lush, beautifully crafted wines are what you can expect for Catena Zapata.
