Depth of black and blue fruit drives this 2019 Catena Zapata Argentino Malbec, layered with dark chocolate, cedar and subtle dried herbs over a vibrant, medium-bodied frame. The tannins feel especially precise and fine this vintage, giving shape and lift to the rich plum and blackberry core and leading to a long, fresh, truffle-tinged finish.

Zapata Argentino Vineyard Malbec (often labeled Malbec Argentino) is Catena Zapata’s flagship old‑vine, 100% Malbec, sourced primarily from the historic Angélica and high‑altitude Nicasia vineyards in Mendoza. Crafted by Alejandro Vigil and team with long, cool fermentations and extended aging in French oak, it’s conceived as an icon wine that marries dense, dark fruit and floral aromatics with mineral, saline notes, expressing both the pre‑phylloxera massal selection of Malbec and the contrasting terroirs of Lunlunta and the Uco Valley.
