2007 Bodegas Catena Zapata Malbec Catena Zapata Argentino Vineyard RP--97

Robert Parker: 97 Points
Wine Advocate #192 Dec 2010 Jay Miller 97 Drink: N/A $62-$110 (120) The 2007 Argentino Malbec is a blend of the Nicasia and Adrianna cuvees. Since I have been tasting the Catena wines, this has generally been my preference because it seems to have an extra dimension of complexity. So it is with the 2007 vintage. The Argentino offers a similar aromatic and flavor profile, but with just a bit of extra nuance. It will be most enjoyable to taste these 3 wines side-by-side in another 10 years (or, to be truthful, at any time). Catena Zapata�s newest releases continue the high standards established by this Bodega virtually from its onset, a tribute to Nicolas Catena who continues to oversee his empire.
