We've had this one several times - kirk LOVES this wine. Had it on his birthday in 2011, and at our wine tasting. Medium bodied, rich, definitely some oak and butterscotch notes, caramelized apples, very round and full.


Natalie's Review

Catena Alta Bodega Catena Zapata Chardonnay 2009, Estate Lots, Mendoza, Argentina: Vintages Wine Panel: Vibrant array of aromas, including coconut, oatmeal, cardamom, yellow plum, vanilla custard and guava. Dry, very generous with lots of fruit along with equally appealling oak notes and fresh acidity. Full bodied with a long finish. This big and bold wine has a surprising elegance to it too. Cellar it 2-4+ years, or savour tonight. My note: Rich and full-bodied with generous layers of tropical fruit, peach and green apple. Just the right amount of smoke to create a luscious package of complete satisfaction for Chardonnay lovers. Drink: 2011-2016.  959973  14%  XD  750 mL  $39.95  Score: 92/100. October 15, 2011 Top Rated White Wine.  Full Review
