Where do you live? Catena Zapata wines shouldn't be too difficult to find.

WineZap and Wine-searcher do not "find" any.

Should I fly to Argentina

are you typing in Argentina or Argentino? It should be the former, plus, try typing in as few words as possible to broaden your search.

What? Yes they do. Here are couple of links: one and two.. There are many others, are you sure you entered 2004 Zapata Malbec?

This is a very new Malbec - It is NOT the "Catena Alta Malbec" that costs ~$45.

This new Malbec was recently reviewed on WS Web only reviews.

"Bodega Catena Zapata Malbec Mendoza Argentino 2004" is what I am looking for.

You are right, it seems that that wine is not yet available . That is one thing that often annoys me about wine reviews. They come out before the wine is imported, so you have no chance to buy before the score whores. It happens a lot with the Insider. What good does it do to know the review early if the wine is not yet available?

That might be one of their single vineyard Malbecs. I don't think they even produce 500 cases per vineyard.

I met the assistant winemaker of Catena. Their vineyards are over 4000 feet above sea level.
