Bodega Catena Zapata — Angelica Zapata Alta Malbec 2019 — Mendoza, Uco Valley. Argentina 🇦🇷
Overview:
Produced entirely from Malbec, this vintage shows a slightly richer, more structured expression within the Angelica Zapata Alta range, highlighting concentration, depth, and polished tannins while maintaining the house’s signature balance and elegance.
Aromas & Flavors:
Red fruits, ripe blueberry, black cherry, subtle cocoa, gentle spice, and floral lift.
Mouthfeel:
Velvety and smooth with a deep, gripping core of fine-grained tannins. The structure is confident yet harmonious, carrying the fruit through a long, satisfying finish.
Food Pairings:
Grilled ribeye, lamb chops, beef empanadas, mushroom risotto, aged Gouda or Manchego, herb-roasted poultry.
Personal Pick:
This vintage leans slightly more serious and structured for me, one I enjoy lingering over with food rather than casual sipping. A beautiful example of why this line continues to impress year after year.
Verdict:
A refined, age-capable Malbec delivering depth, polish, and consistent excellence from a trusted estate.
🍷 Did You Know?:
Malbec grown in the Uco Valley benefits from intense sunlight, cool nights, and alluvial-calcareous soils, helping preserve acidity while building deep color, aromatics, and structure.
