On the nose, lots of honeysuckle & citrus blossoms, green apple, ripe pineapple (near juice), green melon, some mango, popcorn without much butter, Jasmine, spring flowers, just a hint of spice, stones, some light vanilla and beeswax.
The body, thick, full and a touch waxy. It’s delicious. honeysuckle & citrus blossoms, green apple, ripe pineapple, green melon, mango, lemon, lime-near candy, popcorn without much butter, Jasmine, spring flowers, more spice on the palate, mid intensity crushed volcanic minerals that cut across the palate like a blade, stones, some light vanilla and beeswax. The acidity is round and beautiful. The long, full, well balanced finish is excellent and lasts a couple of minutes. Their near perfect softer wood use on this Chardonnay is right in the center of my wheelhouse. I would drink this over just about every CA Chardonnay I’ve ever had.
Photos of, Catena Zapata with the beautiful snowy Andes Mountains in the background, the White Stone Vineyard soil this wine grows, Laura and Nicolás Catena Zapata and their amazingly beautiful barrel room.

Menthol, medicinal, herbaceous, pronounced aromas, super ripe fruit, honey, rounder style with good body. Not my style of wine but will throw you on a loop in a blind tasting.

A different kind of Chardonnay that I have never tried before but highly recommended by a wine buddy. This had lots of citrus, floral & mineral flavors with good balance, length & acidity.
