Fanciful Name: Cameleon
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon
Vintage: 2021
Country of Origin: Argentina
Appellation: Valle de Uco

Bodega Catena Zapata Chardonnay Angélica Alta 2020

Bodega Catena Zapata
Fanciful Name: Angélica Zapata Alta
Varietal: Chardonnay
Vintage: 2020
Country of Origin: Argentina
Appellation: Valle de Uco
Retail Price: $20.00

Tasting Notes: A high-elevation, cool-weather chardonnay grown at two vineyards, which are 3,700-foot elevation and 4,700-foot elevation. It offers a nose of white peach and quince. Made from dijon clones and aged for 14 months in 45% new French oak barrels, the oak and partial malolactic regime do not predominate but are rather well integrated into the profile. Rich mid-palate, ripe pear and apricot notes abound.

Montlaiz
Fanciful Name: Dandelión
Varietal: Bonarda
Vintage: 2020
Country of Origin: Argentina
Retail Price: $13.00

Tasting Notes: Toasty notes of wood on the nose. On the palate it is feisty, youthful with ripe fruit (sun-ripened plums and berries), with a hint of slate and eucalyptus. Dry, but not overly acidic, with tannins that only put up a fight for a brief moment. Would pair well with a juicy hamburger.

El Enemigo Cabernet Franc 2018

94
El Enemigo
Varietal: Cabernet Franc
Vintage: 2018
Country of Origin: Argentina
Retail Price: $24.00

Tasting Notes: When Adrianna Catena began her own wine, making a venture, she named it El Enemigo, or “the enemy.” But the venture was not designed to be a competition with her auspicious father’s business. So perhaps “frenemies” would be more appropriate. This luscious, deep garnet cabernet franc epitomizes what this varietal can be on its own. Black currant and plum, sweet, spices and oak notes. All combine, spend 16 months in French oak barrels and give a long finish with great balance that pairs with any hardy meat focused menu.
