Catena Zapata Description

Winemaker Notes

The soil is layered with fossilized animal bones— remnants from a river that used to pass through the region. Lively citrus notes and white stone fruit on the nose. Voluptuous, intense flavors of pear, apple, and subtle floral and mineral hints.

95 Wine Spectator
A stunning Chardonnay, with seemingly never-ending aromatics of fennel seed and toasted sesame seed mixed with pineapple sage and preserved lemon. The fennel and sesame seed notes join the intense, fresh and lively palate, driven by lemon curd and pomelo flavors, plus twinges of candied grapefruit that just keep going around cleansing minerality details on the structured and refreshing finish.
