In the classic style of mixed Bordeaux, with a nice balance, fine tannins and a harmonious texture, the wine has a nose of great complexity: blackberries, plums, blackcurrants, black cherries enhanced by cedar, sandalwood, sweet spices and cloves.

It is a wine of the purest tradition with impeccable balance.   

To be enjoyed with a grilled beef steak.
 

Robert Parker : 96/100

The 2019 Nicolás Catena Zapata was produced with 42% Cabernet Sauvignon from Gualtallary (Vineyard Adrianna), 30% Malbec from Altamira (Vineyard Nicasia) and a high percentage of Cabernet Franc (28%), also from Adrianna, which replaced Cabernet Sauvignon. It fermented in small oak barrels, concrete and stainless steel tanks with a short post-fermentation maceration. The aging took place in first and second use French oak barrels and lasted 18 months, including malolactic. This wine is still fairly classic in style, with some spice from the barrels and hints of smoke and toast, still very young and underdeveloped. It has the traditional Bordeaux-Mixed character and is grassy, floral and spicy, with a nice texture, very good balance and very fine, chalky tannins. 2019 was a very dry year, and the berries were small, very healthy and delivered powerful wines. It boasts 13.7% alcohol, smooth acidity and good freshness, reflecting a relatively cool season, and comes across as elegant, with the substance and balance to develop nicely over time in bottle. . 66,000 bottles were filled in January 2021.

Vinous : 96/100

The 2019 Nicolas Catena Zapata is a blend of 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Malbec and 28% Cabernet Franc from the Uco Valley and Luján de Cuyo in Mendoza. Having spent 18 months in new French barrels, it is garnet red in color. The 2019 has a cedar nose, expressive notes of dark fruits like plum and cassis, light traces of sweet spices and herbs and a hint of amaretti. Broad and velvety on the palate, with a juicy palate and delicate tea-like texture, the grip provides essential structure. This is a subtle and complex red, with a persistent flavour, to which the excellent year brought additional finesse.

Atkin : 98/100

Along with the best vintages of this Argentinian icon, the 2019 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec also includes a record 28% Cabernet Franc. Combining fruit from Gualtallary and Paraje Altamira, it is refined, graceful and nuanced, with elegant oak, the acidity and structure to age, flavors of dark cherry, cassis and cassis leaves and detailed tannins and with a thin edge. A world-class red.
