Always a great wine and a great value, the 2008 edition of our best-selling South American Chardonnay is the best we've seen since the fine 2005.
"Bodegas Catena-Zapata remains the reference point for Argentina wines. These three value-priced wines exemplify the focus on quality. The -regular- bottling of Chardonnay is an annual candidate for Chardonnay value of the year. The 2008 Chardonnay was fermented with native yeasts and aged for 9 months sur lies in 35% new French oak. It is light gold-colored with an alluring nose of mineral, baking spices, apple, pear, and tropical scents. This leads to a creamy textured, vibrant, complex, medium-bodied Chardonnay with outstanding balance and length. It will drink well for another 4 years."Wine Advocate 90 points
