Nicolás Catena Zapata has an intense, deep purple color with bluish-black tones. On the nose, aromas of black fruits – blackberries, black cherries, black plums – predominate with subtle notes of vanilla and dark chocolate intermingled with savory hints of green olive and a stony minerality. On the palate, the wine is tremendously complex, unfolding layer upon layer of red currant, eucalyptus, and black pepper flavors. Black cherries and blackberries give way to cassis followed by a hint of saline minerality. The wine is remarkably concentrated with a firm tannic structure providing the backbone for the lush fruit. The finish is long, a foretoken of the long aging potential of this Argentine masterpiece.

Let the Nicolás Catena Zapata open in a decanter while you grill a bone-in ribeye steak to perfection. Pour yourself a glass. Bliss.

Grouping of Celli Azienda Agricola Wines, 3 bottles!

"Bron & Ruseval" Sangiovese, Cabernet Riserva 2018

This is their top level. 60 Sangiovese, 40 Cabernet Sauvignon. Lots of plum, cherry, raspberry to balance with mint, dusty cocoa, sandalwood.

"Le Grillaie" Sangiovese Riserva

This, like all of the Celli wines, is Sangiovese Riserva made for Italy.

There are no gimmicks here, just pure, unadulterated Sangiovese. By nature, Sangiovese is not very flavorful. It's something that tends to show subtle notes of cherry, raspberry, plum while balancing with a little savory herbaceousness and vibrant acidity.

"Bron & Ruseval" Sangiovese Riserva 2020

Single Vineyard Sangiovese from the amazing '20 vintage. One year in used barrique and minimum two years in bottle. This is terroir-driven wine that is more pretty than powerful. Archetypal. Best to think of this in 3D terms... The core is ripe black cherry and red plum. Next layer out is nutmeg and clove. The outer layer is all rosemary and orange peel.

Made in Mexico by a small, family ownded company, "El Charro" is one of the best seller from mater Feliix Jurado.
