Still vibrant and full bodied, the ‘07 Malbec Argentino from Catena Zapata is loaded with blue and black fruit, oak and leather. Despite its boldness, there are layers and structure to keep it from being overpowering, both from mild tannins and minerality. Enjoy at our next asado or save for a few years. (5/24h

Single vineyard, high altitude/cool climate Malbec from maybe Argentina’s best, at least with Malbec. You can taste the Cool climate in the earthy underlying minerality and the reserved, plum toned fruit. Despite this, it somehow also drinks big, standing up to a hearty meal. A few more in the cellar and maybe time to stock up on other back vintages.
