| 2007 Bodega Catena Zapata Malbec Catena Alta Mendoza
Mendoza, Argentina      |
Product Notes:
WA 94pts. - WS 93 pts - The 2004 Catena Alta Malbec shows a deep, saturated violet color with a blackish hue. The nose presents a wide array of dark berry fruits with notes of delicate violets flowers as well as sweet clove spices, a touch of cedar and leather. The mouthfeel is full and unctuous, with excellent weight and supple texture. The mid palate offers rich cassis and black currant fruit flavors interwoven with hints of chocolate, vanilla and black pepper. The lengthy finish shows wonderful minerality, with finely grained tannins and lively acidity. From the Winemaker
Dark and lush, with a gorgeous mouthfeel to the exotic fig, boysenberry and blueberry fruit flavors backed by intense spice, mocha, loam and licorice notes. Superlong, showing great drive and purity on the finish. A beauty. Drink now through 2010. 4,500 cases made.

 About Estate:
Single vineyard wines made under the supervision of veteran wine maker Michel Rolland. Rich, dark color and intense fruit are the result of well tendend grapes grown in the arrid, sandy soil region of San Juan’s Zona Valley, north of Mendoza.
Xumek offers high quality reds that rank among Argentina’s top 50 wines. Grapes are harvested when they are ripe (microclimate is very sunny) and uniquely handpicked. With a very small and limited production, these wines have amazing dark colors and are rich and full bodied. Crafted by enologist E. Casademont. Quality control performed by laboratories of famed winemaker Michel Rolland.
