Deep ruby color. Pronounced aromas of violets and lilies, fresh black fruit (blueberries, blackberries and black cherries) and hints of vainilla and cedar. On the palate it is juicy and fresh with medium acidity, medium(+) fine grained ripe tannin and medium(+) body. The finish is medium(+) and slightly sweet of ripe delicious fruit. The taster for Robert Parker only gave it 90+ but I believe that he is diverging further and further away from what the wine collector and wine consumer really enjoy and is scoring very subjectively based on his own personal preference for Burgundy and Jura wines. In the context of new world wines and Argentina and Malbec, I find this wine fresh and perfectly ripe and with a controlled oak presence and a very solid effort to transmit the terroir of the La Consulta sub-region. #catena #catenazapata #argentina #malbec #mountainwine — 4 years ago

Still alive with pretty blue, black, and red fruit. Dominated by umami with strong notes of mushroom, soy sauce, and dried seaweed. The nose and palate were very subtle. This lacked the power and structure to live much longer. #malbec #argentina #catenazapata #francismallmann #elgarzon — 9 years ago

Soy chocolate. Blueberry and cherry with dark chocolate aromas. The holy molé! Coffee bean, and plum reduction, there is a lovely herbaceous intertwining that carries into an endless and robust blackberry. #Malbec #catenazapata — 8 years ago

Young but balanced entry-level #malbec from #catenazapata which I had the pleasure of visiting in #mendoza last year. Dark fruit, tobacco, a trace of garrigue. — 9 years ago
