Professional Ratings

  A fruity and bright cabernet sauvignon. So perfumed with currants and rose bush. Full body, firm tannic backbone and beautiful acidity. Long and tangy. Vibrant. Drink now or hold.

  The 2013 Catena Alta Cabernet Sauvignon is ultra classical, with textbook varietal aromas and great freshness. The climatic conditions of the growing season seem to have worked perfectly for Cabernet in the higher altitude zones and this is a great example. The palate has very fine tannins and lively acidity. There is superb balance here.

  The 2013 Bodegas Catena Zapata Alta Cabernet Sauvignon shows excellent precision and style. The wine's medium-bodied structure and active palate presence pair it well with rack of lamb. Drinks just a bit young now. (Tasted: September 7, 2016, San Francisco, CA USA)

  A gentle expression of cabernet sauvignon, this comes from the vines planted in the 1980s in the sandy soils of Agrelo. It melts into the palate, with sweet, ripe flavors spreading into every corner of the mouth.
