Bodega Catena Zapata
Catena Alta Historic Rows Cabernet Sauvignon
Deep Ruby, purple hues, aged 18 months in French oak, with aromas of ripe dark fruits and floral spice. On the palate flavors of fresh blackberry and black currants with notes of licorice, vanilla and tobacco, slight citrus zing. Long finish, fine soft tannins, crisp acidity, ending dry with fruit and slight earthy notes. Nice!

Fresh rendition of cabernet that has a lingering mineral streak that runs right through the dark red and black fruit.

Nov 9th, 2017From a technical standpoint it's extremely well-made, but why the hell do they need to use so much oak?
