Parker about Malbec Argentino 2021
The very young but already harmonious 2021 Catena Zapata Malbec Argentino has one of the showier labels from the Catena portfolio. 2021 was a cooler year, as cold as 2016, but instead of a wet year like 2016, it was dry. The wine is juicy and reveals a vibrant palate and very clean and focused aromas and flavors. It's clean and precise with varietal aromas of violets, ripe berries and herbs and a spicy touch from the élevage in oak. It's another great vintage for this blend of grapes from the vineyards of Angélica (Lunlunta) and Nicasia (Altamira). It's nicely textured and tasty, medium to full-bodied and with a vibrant finish. 60,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2022.
Suckling over Malbec Argentino 2021
A really well-balanced malbec here that is slightly spicier and richer. Black cherries, dark olives and some violets. Fleshy and almost full-bodied on the palate with juicy, naturally rendered fruit and very fine-grained tannins. Balance is the word. Drink or hold. Zekun Shuai Senior Editor

Malbec Argentino 2021
The 2021 Malbec Argentino from Catena Zapata is a fascinating wine that embodies the typical characteristics of a high-quality Malbec from Argentina. Bodega Catena Zapata is known for its excellent wines and its tradition of winemaking.
The 2021 Malbec Argentino often displays a deep purple color in the glass, which is typical of Malbec grapes. On the nose, one can detect intense aromas of dark fruits such as blackberries, black cherries, and plums, accompanied by subtle notes of spices, chocolate, and herbs.
On the palate, this wine is often full-bodied with ripe tannins and balanced acidity. The fruit flavors continue, blending with nuances of vanilla or toasted wood, which may come from aging in oak barrels. The texture is usually velvety and well-structured, leading to a long, pleasant finish.
