The 2020 Catena Zapata ‘Nicolas’ Mendoza is a deeply concentrated red blend showcasing a complex bouquet of black fruits such as blackberries, black cherries, and plums, layered with subtle notes of vanilla, dark chocolate, and a hint of green olive minerality.

On the palate, it reveals a structured yet elegant profile with flavors of cassis, red currant, eucalyptus, and black pepper, supported by fine-grained tannins and a saline minerality that adds freshness. This wine offers a long, vibrant finish and impressive aging potential, reminiscent of a refined Bordeaux blend but with distinct Argentine character. It is a meticulous expression of Mendoza’s terroir, balancing power and finesse.

Serve it decanted alongside a grilled bone-in ribeye steak or hearty roasted meats to complement its depth and structure.
