Catena Zapata - My Vine Spot	Catena Chardonnay	2014	Feb-2017
Review In “Quick Sip: Bodega Catena Zapata 2014 Chardonnay and 2013 Malbec,” writer Dezel Quillen reviews two wines from BODEGA CATENA ZAPATA. Regarding the winery in general, Quillen writes: “This producer is well-regarded for quality-driven wines that consistently deliver good value. For that reason, it is good to have a few bottles on hand for your upcoming backyard cookouts and last-minute get-togethers.” He reviews the following: CATENA Chardonnay 2014 “Fruit for this Chardonnay was sourced from three high-altitude vineyards, all owned by the Catena family that range from 3,100 to 4,700 feet. Aromas of pear tart, citrus blossom and spiced fruitcake are joined on the palate by yellow-fleshed fruit flavors and floral notes. It is noticeably round with a sweet, mouth-filling texture supported by adequate acidity and freshness. A very enjoyable Chardonnay; it ends with a faint mineral streak and overtones of spice lingering on the medium-long finish. Try a bottle with pasta, risotto dishes or oven-roasted chicken. It’s also a satisfying solitary sipper.”

For that reason, it is good to have a few bottles on hand for your upcoming backyard cookouts and last-minute get-togethers.” He reviews the following:CATENA Malbec 2013 “This is a deeply colored and concentrated Malbec boasting aromas and flavors suggestive of dark stone fruit and blackberry preserve intertwined with rose petals, cedar/peppery spice, and underlying hints of wild herbs. On the palate, this wine is medium-bodied with fine, sweet tannins. It has just enough acidity to lift the fruit and provide balance. The texture shows flavor density and richness that carries through the medium-long, earth-tinged finish. This is an overall very satisfying wine; especially when paired with heartier dishes such as leg of lamb, pot roast or pork chops.”
