Executive Context
When to Order
South America's finest export. A reserve Malbec from Luján de Cuyo is excellent value versus comparable French wines. Catena Zapata's top bottlings are world-class.
Say This at the Table
"An Argentine Malbec — something from Luján de Cuyo at altitude. The high-elevation fruit concentration is unlike anything else."
