  • Argentime Vintners Go Global
    The Washington Times, Nov. 2, 2005, Paul Lukacs
    "As seems true just about everywhere in the winemaking world these days, Argentine vintners make plenty of chardonnay. And proving that the country is capable of making truly worldclass wine from this most popular white grape variety, Catena "Alta" 2002 ($30) tastes rich and creamy, with a superb structure and a long, evolving finish."
    "Catena Alta 2002 ($45) costs significantly more, but then it's a remarkably complete wine, displaying an elegance and finesse to which few malbecs even aspire. This special-occasion wine, while delicious now, should get even better with five years or so in bottle."
    "Perhaps even more elegant and complete, Nicolas Catena Zapata 2001 ($85) offers a wonderfully complex bouquet, followed by ripe fruit held in beautiful balance by firm but not astringent tannins."
    "These are three wines of genuine finesse and sophistication - some of the very finest from a country that is sending more and more fine wines to our shores every year."

    Nicolas Catena Zapata 1999, 93 Points
    Highly Recommended. Dense, with roasted cocoa bean, bittersweet chocolate, black currant and blackberry flavors, and a long, powerful finish held together by tongue-pounding tannins. Well-defined now, this should get better in the medium term. Drink now through 2007.
