Bodega Aleanna – El Enemigo - Wine Spectator	Malbec	2016	90	Dec-2019
Review “Elegant, with hot stone notes accenting the pure-tasting dried red fruit flavors. Details of underbrush emerge on the focused finish, showing some tarry hints.”
Bodega Aleanna – El Enemigo - Wine Spectator	Chardonnay	2017	91	Dec-2019
Review “Lithe and rich, featuring concentrated Gala apple and Asian pear flavors that are well-spiced. A light buttery note emerges midpalate, leading to a finish that extends with creamy and buttery accents.”
Catena Zapata - Jeb Dunnuck	Nicolás Catena Zapata	2014	96	Dec-2019
Review “One of the standouts in this stacked lineup is the 2014 Nicolas Catena Zapata, 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Malbec sourced from a multitude of vineyards (La Pirámide, Domingo, Adrianna and Nicasia Vineyards) that spent two years in new French oak. Boasting a deep ruby/purple color as well as blockbuster notes of crème de cassis, damp earth, classy oak, white flowers, and tobacco leaf, this beauty is full-bodied, deep, and layered on the palate, with both richness and freshness. Made in a semi-classic style, with textbook Cabernet notes as well as a polished, pure, ripe style, it’s a brilliant wine from this estate that will keep for two decades or more.”
Bodega Aleanna – El Enemigo - Wine Spectator	Malbec	2016	90	Nov-2019
Review “Elegant, with hot stone notes accenting the pure-tasting dried red fruit flavors. Details of underbrush emerge on the focused finish, showing some tarry hints.”
Catena Zapata - Wine Spectator	Catena Appellation La Consulta Malbec	2017	91	Nov-2019
Review “Features fine-edged macerated raspberry, cherry and red plum flavors, accented by notes of hot stone. Freshly ground coffee and spice details show on the tannic finish.”
Bodega Aleanna – El Enemigo - Wine Spectator	El Gran Enemigo	2015	90	Nov-2019
Review “Vibrant, with dried red berry and cherry flavors, matched to lively minerality and cigar box notes. Dried herbal accents show on the savory finish. Malbec blend.”
Catena Zapata - Santé	Catena Alta Chardonnay	2016		Nov-2019
Review “For those who like big fruity and oaky Chards, here you are – the toastiness also bears the aroma and taste of fresh corn kernels.”
Catena Zapata - Wine Advocate	Catena Alta Chardonnay - 2018	2018	92+	Nov-2019
Review “The excellent, subtle and elegant 2018 Catena Alta Chardonnay had a shy nose that took some time in the glass to take off. It's more subtle than in-your-face, and the palate is super elegant, with much better integrated oak than previous vintages. There is great freshness and very good acidity that comes through as pure, crystalline and focused, with a mineral mouthfeel.”
Catena Zapata - Wine Advocate	Catena Zapata White Stones Chardonnay - 2018	2018	98+	Nov-2019
Review “The outstanding 2018 White Stones Chardonnay epitomizes the expression of the grape in the cooler-climate and high-altitude location of the Adrianna vineyard in Gualtallary. There is rectitude, austerity and elegance, a subtle wine with great clout and intensity that comes through as chiseled, focused, symmetric and pure, more in the style of Roulot than Coche-Dury, with superb integration of all the elements and fine minerality. This is more about the place and vintage than the grape, which feels like a good way to transmit the chalky soils of the selected plots. Simply superb, possibly the finest vintage for this bottling so far.”
Bodega Aleanna – El Enemigo - Wine Advocate	Chardonnay - 2018	2018	93	Nov-2019
Review “The textbook 2018 El Enemigo Chardonnay had varietal aromas and notes from the barrel, giving it a very attractive profile. But there is a secret: the barrels develop some flor yeasts in the style of Jerez (or Jura) and this gives the wine a spicy twist, hints of curry and white pepper. The wine is silky and the very high acidity is not noticeable. This is a great commercial success, and at the price, it offers great value.”
