Thanks for the info - maybe I should drink both bottles before I go home and pick up a more mind-blowing example to take with me.

Wow... I continue to be impressed. Did you source all these States-side or have you recently been to EZE...?

Martas Vinyard
I love Marta’s Vinyard Malbec Reserve 2006 Lujan de Cuyo.
Came across it at a food and drink show and this was by far the nicest wine there and by no means the most expensive. ABout £10 in the UK so I would guess around $15 in the US http://www.martasvinyard.com/ Not sure where you can obtain it in the US, you could try contacting them through the website. |
Thanks for the recs!

Found this review online - I think you need to add a few more Os to your looooooooooooong if the NCZ blend is anything to go by!! "98 out of 100...Catena Zapata’s flagship is the Nicolas Catena Zapata, a Cabernet Sauvignon-Malbec blend. The 2004 Nicolas Catena Zapata is composed of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon and 28% Malbec. It spent 18 months in 100% new French oak. A saturated black purple in color, it has an aristocratic perfume of pain grille, mineral, espresso, saddle leather, cassis, black currant, and black raspberry. Opulently textured, complex, ripe, and sweet on the palate, it maintains a sense of elegance as well as power. It demands 10-15 years of further cellaring and should still be providing pleasure at age 50. It strikes me as being Argentina’s equivalent of a great vintage of Lafite-Rothschild." - WA |

How does this fall into the "Malbec" category? ;)
FWIW, the Malbec equivalent of the Nicolas Catena Zapata is the Catena Zapata Malbec Argentino.... this way made its debut in the 2004 vintage and has received rave reviews from Wine Spectator and The Wine Advocate. |
