| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\n\r\n\r\nRich and concentrated, it offers aromas of black fruit, cherry and dark berryfruit on the nose followed in the palate by a full-bodied wine with flavors of spice, blackberry, black cherry, pepper and a slight floral character. The finish is elegant and lengthy.\r\nBlend: 90% Malbec, 8% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot\r\nFood Pairing - rodizio, Lyonnaise sauces, grilled steaks, and barbecued ribs.\r\nVinous 94 Points\r\nRobert Parker 92 Points \r\nJames Suckling 92 Points\r\nAbout El Enemigo\r\nTwo romantics, a winemaker (Alejandro Vigil), and a historian (Adrianna Catena) - go back in time to capture an era when European imigrants recently settled in Argentina, sought to make wines as fine, and finer than those of their homelands.\r\nLondon, September 18, 2009 - Alejandro Vigil and Adrianna Catena walked back from the Argentine Embassy in London where Nicolas Catena had just received the Decanter Man of the Year Award among a group of dear friends from around the world.\u00a0 The Thames was covered in mist as Adrianna began to tell Alejandro about the Great Fire of 1666, stories from another September night in London.\r\nAdrianna is an historian who recently completed her Ph.D. in History at Oxford University. Alejandro, a soils engineer, has been chief winemaker at Catena Zapata since 2002.\u00a0They share a mutual fascination with the writers Dostoyevsky and Cort\u00e1zar, a passion for the Hellenic Philosophers (and heirloom tomatoes), a love of used books, live music, and long meals with old friends, and a deep, obsessive dedication to their young families \u2013 Adrianna's son Antonio and Alejandro's daughter Maria Giuliana Francesca are the same age.\r\nOn that walk, Alejandro and Adrianna decided to make a wine together, a wine that would represent their deep respect for history and tradition, and their complete irreverence towards\u00a0the status quo.\r\n |
