Hmmm..... Vista del Sur.... havent heard of the name. No matter, though, just because Ive never heard of it doesnt really mean much. There are a good number of honest well made wines that are private labels and are only sold for export, this may very well be one of them.

not one of the wines we have been talking about in the other posts above. The wines we have been mentioning above are two of the best wines made by Catena Zapata, they are some of the highest rated (by Wine Spectator and The Wine Advocate) wines made in Argentina, they are produced in very small quantities, made from the best vineyards and the oldest vines, and cost north of US$110-120 per bottle.
The wine mentioned in the link, while made by the same winery, is one of the entry level varietals made by the house of Catena. A fine example of what a good QPR Malbec should offer, yes, but... nothing like the Nicolas Catena Zapata Malbec Argentino or the Nicolas Catena Zapata Blend that we have discussed in our above posts.
