# 2021 Nicolás Catena Zapata A refined Bordeaux-style blend from Argentina’s Mendoza region, this wine marries 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Malbec, and 10% Cabernet Franc into something genuinely elegant. Dark fruit aromas—black cherry, plum, and blueberry—mingle with saline minerality, tobacco, and subtle dark chocolate, while the palate reveals layers of eucalyptus and black pepper beneath silky, fine-grained tannins. 7% alcohol and balanced acidity keep it fresh and approachable now, yet the wine has the structure to age gracefully for a decade or more. This is Bordeaux-inspired winemaking at its best, executed with Argentine precision and terroir.
Serve slightly cool with grilled lamb, mushroom risotto, or aged cheeses.
