Winery Background: Bodega Catena Zapata, founded in 1902 by Italian immigrant Nicola Catena, has played a pivotal role in establishing Argentina as a world-class wine region. Under the stewardship of Nicolás Catena and his daughter Laura, the winery has pioneered high-altitude viticulture, pushing the boundaries of Malbec and demonstrating the diversity of Mendoza’s terroirs. Wine Description: The 2004 Catena Zapata Malbec 'Argentino Vineyard' displays a deep, dark violet hue with intense blackish-purple tones. Its aromatic complexity is remarkable, revealing layers of wood smoke, creosote, black cherry, blackberry, and hints of pepper and clove. On the palate, the wine unfolds with a generous texture, offering sweet black cherry flavors intertwined with notes of dark chocolate and spicy black pepper. The finish is long and refined, supported by velvety tannins and vibrant acidity.

Vintage Quality: The 2004 vintage in Mendoza was exceptional, marked by optimal ripening conditions that contributed to the wine’s impressive structure and aging potential. The winemaking team at Catena Zapata expertly harnessed the vintage’s strengths, resulting in a Malbec that showcases both the vineyard’s distinct character and the year’s remarkable quality.
