Jon,
The La Bocca was not your typical Argentine Malbec - light on the
tannins but easily drinkable and an okay intro to Malbecs. La Bocca
also had a Merlot, Cabernet and Sauvignon Blanc - none of which I
would rank as very good.

I have not tried the Bodega Cantena Zapata yet - but I will look for
that.
Thanks,
Tom AZ
