The Catena family has conducted extensive research into the soils and microclimates of Mendoza's high altitude wine country in the foothills of the Andes mountains. At different altitudes, the family's Malbec vineyards express a unique profile of aromas and flavors: the ripe plum fruit flavors and silky texture of the Angelica vineyard (2,850 elevation); the dark fruit character and pepper notes of the La Piramide vineyard (3,100 elevation); the black cherry aromas and excellent structure of the Altamira vineyard (3,870 elevation); the explosive floral aromatics full, concentrated mouthfeel of the Adrianna vineyard (5,000). The blend of these components creates a wine of unique character that has balance, concentration and a strong varietal identity.
"The Catena Zapata Malbec Argentino 2008 shows a saturated dark violet color; the nose offers cassis, mocha and clove, along with a strong suggestion of soil tones. It combines density and sweetness on the one hand, with gripping, lightly saline flavors of tobacco, dark berries, spices and minerals; a palate-staining finish dominated by sweet black and blue fruits."
