Catena Zapata - Vinous	Catena Alta Chardonnay	2019	92	Jun-2020
Review “Pressed in whole bunches, the 2019 Chardonnay Catena Alta combines grapes from Villa Bastías and Gualtallary, both in Tupungato. The mature perfume includes pear and apricot with herbal hints that soar over a beautifully deep layer of French oak in which the wine was fermented and spent 14 months. The butter and cream are held in check by the excellently judged acidic tension making this a velvety, delicate and refreshing white.”
Catena Zapata - Tim Atkin, MW	Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard Fortuna Terrae Malbec	2017	95	May-2020
Review “Located at 1,340 metres, this parcel was planted back in 1992, which was early for Gualtallary. Fermented with 100% whole bunches, the resulting wine is dense, spicy and hauntingly perfumed, with aromas of ginger and rosemary, lavish oak, filigree tannins and freshness of its high-altitude site.” (Best Malbec)
Catena Zapata - Tim Atkin, MW	Catena Alta Malbec	2018	92	May-2020
Review “Historic Rows hails from five different Mendoza sub-regions - Agrelo, Gualtallary, Lunlunta, Paraje Altamira and San Carlos - and is very much the quintessential Argentinian Malbec. Deeply coloured, intense and ripe, with supple, palate-caressing tannins, scented oak and aniseed and blackberry flavours.”
Catena Zapata - Tim Atkin, MW	Catena Alta Chardonnay	2018	92	May-2020
Review “The new oak has been reduced to just 10% on this wine, making it appealingly fresh and fruit driven. Sourced from Gualtallary and Villa Bastías at the northern end of the Uco Valley, it still has some peachy sweetness, but it’s complemented by notes of citrus and orange zest and a long, flowing finish.”
Catena Zapata - Tim Atkin, MW	Catena Alta Cabernet Sauvignon	2018	91	May-2020
Review “Much smaller in size than the Historic Rows Malbec, this only comes from three areas of Mendoza - Agrelo, Paraje Altamira and Villa Bastías - and has 7% Cabernet Franc for an added dimension. Plush, supple and sweet, it has succulent cassis and blackberry fruit, fine tannins, some toasty new oak and balancing acidity.”
Catena Zapata - Wine Along the 101	Catena Alta Chardonnay	2017		Apr-2020
Review “A blend of two high altitude vineyards (Adrianna and Domingo), rich and concentrated, yet crisp and mineral, with notes of pear, apple, apricot and citrus, with white floral notes, elegant and aromatic.”
Catena Zapata - Jamessuckling.com	Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard Fortuna Terrae Malbec	2018	98	Apr-2020
Review “The aromatics here really seduce you with their blackberry and dried-strawberry notes and undertones of wet earth, green tea, dried flowers, stones and dust. Full bodied, tight and very focused with similarly complex character on the palate. More muscle than many previous vintages of this. Extremely long and juicy. Needs at least four or five years to come together.”
Catena Zapata - Jamessuckling.com	Catena Alta Malbec	2018	95	Apr-2020
Review “Beautiful blackberries and green tea with some blueberries. Medium body with beautiful balance, freshness and whole-berry sensibility and brightness. Subtle and sophisticated.”
Catena Zapata - Jamessuckling.com	Catena Alta Chardonnay	2019	94	Apr-2020
Review “This is a serious white with dried apple, pineapple and white peach to the stone and honeysuckle character. Full-bodied, bright and fruity with a fascinating undertone of spice and cream.”
Catena Zapata - Jamessuckling.com	Catena Alta Cabernet Sauvignon	2018	93	Apr-2020
Review “A firm, integrated cabernet with attractive plum and chocolate aromas and flavors. Medium body, round tannins and a delicious, flavorful finish.”
