Saint Felicien Cabernet Merlot: The Perfect Fusion of Elegance and Flavor
From the high-altitude vineyards of Mendoza, this iconic blend from Bodega Catena Zapata combines the elegance of Cabernet Sauvignon (70%) from La Pirámide in Agrelo (940 masl) with the freshness of Merlot (30%) from the Adrianna vineyard in Gualtallary (1470 masl). Aged for 12 months in French oak (90%) and American oak (10%), this wine showcases the expertise of winemaker Alejandro Vigil.
In the glass, it reveals an intense red color with ruby highlights. The nose is complex, with notes of ripe black fruits like cassis and plums, hints of black pepper, tobacco, and a subtle touch of vanilla. On the palate, it is balanced and rounded, with firm yet silky tannins, refreshing acidity, and a long, spicy finish.
This blend pairs beautifully with both classic and modern American cuisine. It’s the perfect match for grilled cuts of beef like ribeye or porterhouse seasoned with fresh herbs. It also shines alongside bourbon-glazed BBQ ribs, gourmet burgers topped with aged cheddar and mushrooms, or more refined dishes like roasted lamb with a red wine reduction.
Catena Zapata Cabernet - Merlot is the ideal choice for those who appreciate the harmony of tradition and modernity in a wine that captures the essence of Argentina’s finest terroirs.
