I have always been a fan of the wines from this domain. Now at age 15/16 this wine stands firm! Everything comes together with a nose of red fruit, licorice, leathersoap. The mouthfeeling is silky, cherries you know these big black ones, subtle acidity making you want to drink more but no need as the finish takes you over the minute. Fantastic wine! — 15 days ago

This wine is made primarily from Sangiovese grapes, offering vibrant red fruit flavors, balanced tannins, and a delicate finish that showcases the family's dedication to quality and legacy in the region as they have been crafting wine for 600+ years.
On the nose the fruity notes are prominent yet well balanced by subtle touch of violets and vanilla. On the palate, this wine is remarkably balanced and characterized by some striking aromas of strawberries and ripe cherries. As a mouthfeel, medium-bodied and remains on the tart side with a very long smooth finish. I pizza and red sauces pastas wine. — 17 days ago

Catena Zapata Chardonnay White Stones 2021
Vignoble: Catena Zapata

Appellation: Mendoza, Argentine

Millésime: 2021

Cépage: Chardonnay

Prix: Élevé - Positionnement premium sur le marché
Apparence
Robe claire et brillante, reflets dorés.
Nez
Premier nez marqué par des notes d'agrumes dominées par le citron. Une touche animale fugace est perceptible à l'ouverture mais se dissipe rapidement avec l'aération. Évolution vers des arômes de jubube (confiserie de fruits) apportant une dimension plus douce et exotique.
Bouche
Attaque vive caractérisée par une acidité prononcée, typique des chardonnays d'altitude. Notes de citron bien présentes, cohérentes avec le nez. La texture est précise et ciselée. Finale longue et persistante, laissant une impression de fraîcheur minérale.
Accord
Dégusté en comparaison avec le White Bones de la même maison, offrant une perspective intéressante sur les différentes expressions du terroir Catena Zapata. Partagé avec Boul.
Évaluation
91/100 points
Un chardonnay de caractère qui exprime admirablement la minéralité et la fraîcheur des vignobles d'altitude de Mendoza. L'acidité remarquable lui confère un excellent potentiel de garde. Son prix élevé le positionne dans le segment haut de gamme, reflétant l'ambition et le prestige de la maison Catena Zapata. — 2 months ago

Had the 2016 on Derby Day 2025. Dark, rich fruits. Some chocolate with a hint of leather. Vanilla and caramel from the barrel. Very interesting wine. The artwork on the front label is absolutely fascinating. Had to do the back of the bottle to get it in this app. — 6 days ago

Bright, effervescent red. Starts off kind of tasting like wet socks and then smooths and rounds out to dried apricot, green apple, and cinnamon, with a tart finish. Definitely something to worth chillingl! — a month ago

A Sangiovese driven wine with a delightful vivid ruby red with notable violet hues. On the nose is highly persistent in the fruity and spicy notes.
The one is already in its prime time, well-balanced between acidity, and approachable tannins. Tends to be a bit fruitier with some red berry compote with a juicy mouthfeel and moderate finish, which makes it savory as the spices shows on back-end of the palate as well. Cheers! — 2 months ago

Cannot go wrong with 2018 vintage on most central Tuscan wines and this isn’t an exception. A nice, inexpensive, appealing and approachable Sangiovese driven with a gentle tannins, bright orange acidity, juicy cranberry, ripe red cherries and spice and subtle touch of oak. A perfect pizza companion wine for a casual drinking! — 2 months ago
