The Catena Zapata icons begin with the 2008 Nicasia Vineyard Malbec which spent 18 months in 100% new French barriques. A glass-coating opaque purple/black it offers up a super-fragrant nose of toasty new oak earth notes exotic spices black cherry and black raspberry. This is followed by a plush layered intensely flavored rich wine with potential complexity precision balance and a seamless finish. Give it 4-6 years of cellaring and drink it through 2028.
