Catena Zapata Estiba
Reservada 2003 offers a deep violet color with black hues. The nose is rich,
with complex cedar, red fruit, chocolate an sweet spice. On the palate, a
sweet, soft entry leads to a rich, opulent wine. A solid structure, with
firm tannins, contribute to a long, persistent finish.
