Bodega Catena Zapata “Catena” Malbec
A glass of this Bodega Catena Zapata Malbec from Argentina shows a saturated dark violet color with ruby reflection. The aroma is cassis, blueberries and violets, along with a strong suggestion of soil tones. It combines density and sweetness on one hand with gripping, lightly saline flavors of mocha, dark berries, spice, and minerals on the other. Plus, it has a palate-staining finish dominated by sweet black and blue fruits.
