Depth and freshness define this 2004 Nicolas Catena Zapata, with soaring blackcurrant and plum fruit wrapped in notes of dark chocolate, subtle smoke, coffee bean and gently worn leather. The palate is plush yet poised, with velvety, fully resolved tannins and a long, savory finish that shows how brilliantly this powerful wine has evolved while retaining remarkable juiciness and lift.

Nicolás Catena Zapata is Catena Zapata’s flagship Mendoza red, a high‑altitude “original Bordeaux blend” dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec (often with a share of Cabernet Franc), sourced principally from the Adrianna and Nicasia crus in the Uco Valley. First released in 1997, it helped define Argentina’s modern fine‑wine movement, marrying mountain freshness and stony, calcareous terroir character with dense black-fruit concentration, firm yet polished tannins, and long aging potential.
