Catena Zapata Birth Of Cabernet

Catena Zapata's "Birth of Cabernet" is a premium Argentine red blend from Mendoza's Uco Valley that pays homage to the historical, natural crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc that originally created the Cabernet Sauvignon grape. Typically composed of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc sourced from high-altitude vineyards, the wine is aged for 18 to 24 months in French oak barrels. It delivers a structured, full-bodied profile driven by dark fruits like cassis and blackberry, layered with cedar, graphite, and fine-grained tannins. The bottle is notable for its intricate, allegorical label depicting the grape's origin story through the mythical figures of a fox representing Cabernet Franc and a siren representing Sauvignon Blanc.
