Catena Zapata, Nicolás Catena Zapata 2018, Mendoza, Argentina
Tasting Note: A cabernet-sauvignon (65%) and malbec (35%) blend with wonderful balance between the fruit and tannin structure.
Deep-intensity purple in color, this wine has a medium-plus-intensity nose of black currant, blackberry puree, fig compote, toasted cedar and raspberry.
On the palate the dry, full-bodied red blend has medium-plus-intensity flavors suggested on the nose supported by medium acidity and slightly-grippy, medium-plus tannin.
The midpalate has complex notes of well-integrated fruit flavors suggested on the nose.
Impress a cabernet sauvignon drinker in your life with this cabernet-malbec blend.
