Score 92/100 · Drink 2004-2012, Pierre Rovani, Apr 2002

The dark ruby-colored 1997 Catena Alta Cabernet Sauvignon Zapata Vineyard has awesome richness to its aromatic profile, revealing candied black fruits, spices, and cassis liqueur. This magnificent, hugely rich wine is fat, medium to full-bodied, plump, and simply put, gorgeous. It is powerful yet elegant, crammed with a myriad of sweet blackberries, cassis, and assorted currants. Its finish reveals copious quantities of ripened tannin. It is a superb wine that merits comparison with the world's finest Cabernets. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2012+. Importer: Billington Distributors, Inc., Springfield, VA; tel. (703) 455-4700.
