Bodegas Catena Zapata - Alamos - Malbec 2009

About the winery

This is the story of how we have poured our lives, our passion, our spirit into transforming a scrub laden desert into some of the most beautiful and unique vineyards in the world. This is the story of how we have passed our knowledge from father to son, and daughter, across the generations and blended that collective memory of family with state-of-the-art science from the new world of viticulture. It is a tale of taking risks, of backing a hunch, of making a giant leap of faith, of enjoying a little luck along the way, to make our treasured terroir in Mendoza the fountainhead for the wines that carry our name.

Datos técnicos

Sobre la bodega

Esta es la historia de cómo hemos volcado nuestras vidas, nuestra pasión y nuestro espíritu para transformar un árido desierto en una de las zonas vitícolas más bellas y únicas del mundo. Esta es la historia de cómo hemos pasado nuestros conocimientos de padre a hijo y de hijo a hija a través de las generaciones, de cómo hemos ensamblado la memoria colectiva de la familia con la más moderna tecnología vitícola vigente. Es una historia de tomar riesgos, de respaldar una corazonada, de dar un gran salto de fe, de disfrutar un poco de suerte a través del camino, de convertir a nuestro querido terroir mendocino en la fuente de los vinos que llevan nuestro nombre.

2008

Tom Burnakis      Jacksonville  (United States)   Great buy Gosh you have to like a wine that is this good and this inexpensive. The 2007 was reviewed in WS, but my local warehouse store had the 2008 for $8 – how could I go wrong. I didn’t – it was tasty and fresh, developed from fig to a mild spice cake as it travel the length of the mouth. No biting, tannins and a clean finish. Reviewed 7 months ago

2005

Tom Burnakis      Jacksonville  (United States)   Remember the Alamos Dark almost purple to the eye. The nose is fruity and spicy, the palate is fruit, spice and hint of tannin. The wine drank a lot better with food (roasted chicken) than it did alone. Alone it was almost overpowering with a heavy sweetness that hung on after the first taste. Not terrible, but not one I would seek out Reviewed 2 years ago
