2015 Nicolas Catena Zapata incredibly Provençal red offering notesParker Luis Gutirrez 93 Along with the 2014 vintage, I also tasted the 2015 Nicols Catena Zapata. The 2015 is higher in Cabernet Sauvignon, which represents 83% of the final blend, while Malbec comprises the remaining 17%. It feels quite ripe, with notes of cherries and an earthy touch. It's juicy and soft, very approachable, even though it has the Cabernet's textbook tannins. 72,000 bottles produced.
