Appearance: Catena Zapata Nicasia Vineyard Malbec is a dark violet Malbec.
Nose: Ripe black-and-red currant, raspberries and an elegant touch of french oak are some of the aromas that we can appreciate from this special malbec from one of the Catena´s highest family vineyards.
Mouth: Very complex and expressive palate, with a creamy violet flavor with ripe blueberries, cassis, vanilla and spicecake.
Food Pairing: Pairs well with roasted veal, shiitake mushrooms, and beef tenderloin.

I also tasted the 2015 Malbec Catena Zapata Nicasia Vineyard, which had been in bottle since July 2017. 2015 is a warmer and riper year within the three consecutive cooler El Niño vintages. It's juicy, showy and round, with moderate acidity (relatively speaking). 12,480 bottles produced.

Rich pepper notes accent the well-defined and luscious dark plum, red berry and currant flavors. Notes of hot stone show midpalate, with a fine-grained, mineral-filled finish. Drink now through 2021. 1,040 cases made.
