The Wines of Bodega Catena Zapata from Argentina

Catena, founded in 1902 by Italian immigrants in Argentina, was truly responsible for putting Malbec on the map in the U.S. and the world. It has existed for many years as a blending grape in Bordeaux, but the early Catena family felt strongly about its possibilities in the Mendoza region of Argentina. In 2001 the daughter of the Catena family, Laura, having a strong background in science with degrees from Harvard and Stanford, took over Research & Development for the winery. Leading the R&D team, she conducted a plant by plant selection of the top Malbec lots in their high altitude vineyards. The result were three spectacular new Malbecs of incredible quality. The Chanler has been pouring Catena wines for years; it is very popular amongst our guests and our team. Try one of Catena's Malbecs at this Tasting Series, and you are tasting determination directly from the hands of 4th generation Laura Catena.
