Nicolas Catena Zapata 2006

Nicolas Catena Zapata 2006 is a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon blend from the celebrated Catena Zapata family winery in Mendoza, Argentina. This iconic Cabernet dedicated to the pioneering founder of Catena Zapata exhibits the perfect marriage of power, complexity and finesse. The 2006 Nicolas Catena Zapata is composed of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Malbec and spent 26 months in new French oak. " It displays a superb perfume of pain grille, spice box, truffle, wild flowers, black cherry, and black currant. Rich, layered, dense, and complex, it, too, combines elegance and power. The wine is structured for the long haul and should easily see its 25th birthday, with 50 not out of the question." Wine Advocate, 2010
