What’s In the Best Of 2022 Collection…

Will: Arca Yaco Amar y Vivir 2018
(Hors Collection)

From his small farm at the bottom of desert gulch, Matías Etchart, scion of the Etchart family (winemakers in Cafayate since 1850) has become one of our Calchaquí Valley all-stars. We first imported his Amar y Vivir back in 2020 to big acclaim. “A personal statement… a memoir fermented and aged in oak,” we wrote at the time. While not part of a scheduled collection we felt compelled to import more for our Calchaquí superfans. Nose: wet earth, black fruit, wood. Palate: tobacco, licorice, pepper. 96 points from Tim Atkin.

Says Will: the malbec/cabernet blend is an absolute favorite. And Matías’ take is among the very best. This high altitude blend has all the hallmarks of the Calchaquí but with a high level of finesse by a passionate boutique winemaker.

Diego: Marquis de Saint-Estèphe Château Léo de Prades 2016
(French Collection)

Separated from Bordeaux’s legendary Château Lafite-Rothschild by just a small stream, the village of St-Estèphe is home to some of the Médoc’s most rewarding reds. This “old vine” blend (vines up to 70 years old) has a character and depth that feel well beyond its four years in bottle. Notes of tobacco, clove, dark fruit, and toasted coffee beans.

Says Diego: As a person that drinks a lot of Argentine wine, Léo de Prades brings to me a great variety of flavors that are hard to find in Argentina. Elegant with a long finish, it’s a wine from with lots of potential, perfect to drink now and also to keep a few in the cellar. Very easy to pair too – I call this type of wines the hungry ones – they go with any appetite I have that day! 

Matt: Paco Puga L’Amitié Robusto 2019
(Calchaquí Valley Collection)

The rare Argentine wine that takes its cues more from Burgundy than Bordeaux. That’s where Francisco “Paco” Puga began his career in 1999 and two decades later he has created in L’Amitié a love letter to the region. This is the reserve version (“Robusto”) which means the grapes spent 24 months in barrel. Delicate, herbal nose, with clean red and black fruit on the palate. Only 2400 bottles made.

Says Matt: This is the 2nd time I’ve listed a Paco Puga wine as my favorite of the year… and with good reason! L’Amitié packs a punch. I believe Julien called it “an explosion of sensations”. It appeals to my sweet tooth with plenty of chocolate and black fruit notes. I brought this over to my in-laws recently for Thanksgiving dinner and it was a huge hit!

Lucy: Dominio del Bendito Las Sabias 2019
(Hors Collection)

A rarity in Europe: wines from un-grafted, pre-phylloxera vines. Down in winemaker Antony Terryn’s “dream vineyard,” located in Toro, Spain, the sandy soil makes it hard for the bug to take hold of the roots. You can still find vines there over a century old. Those that produced this 2019 were in their 60s, organically farmed, and hand harvested. We included Las Sabias’ sister wine El Buen Rollo in our Ancient Wines collection but also imported a few cases of the former for fans of Toro’s legendary power.

Says Lucy: My favorite of the year was Dominio del Bendito’s Las Sabias. The wine is super dense and dark, with warm, rich, spiced aromas and huge body. It’s more powerful than I usually go for, but so fresh, refined, and elegant in its intensity that it really captivated me. 

Barry: Château Vieille Tour 2018
(French Collection)

The label says “Côtes de Bordeaux” but really this red is from Cadillac (like nearby Sauternes, Cadillac makes sweet whites; reds are not allowed to bear that appellation’s name). Not that winemaker Jérome Gouin is concerned about labels. He’s really just a farmer who happens to make amazing wine. We loved this so much we bought up his entire supply for the Partnership.

Says Barry: an undiscovered gem…which I found by accident in a butcher shop looking for some boudin for dinner. A traditional Bordeaux blend, but the really floral and fruity merlot makes it super drinkable and delicious. A very small husband and wife production. Too good a value to pass up.

Julien: Vieil Armand Rendez-Vous 2020
(Ancient Wines Collection)

Farmers have been growing grapes in the valleys between the Vosges Mountains and the Black Forest for at least 400 years. Traditionally known better for créments (French non-Champagne sparkling wines), Alsatian pinot noir is now a real contender with the Burgundians to the south.

Says Julien: I came upon Rendez-Vous while Diego and I were tasting wines in Germany. I so wanted our members to discover Alsace as a place for unsung yet extraordinary pinots. I found this to be a deep yet very playful pinot with a solid concentration of tannins from a beautiful, warm 2020 vintage. The crisp fresh cherry flavors harmonize with smoothing spices and oak.

About the Bonner Private Wine Partnership

Founded by Will Bonner, the Partnership is a group of wine lovers who come together to import great, small batch wines that might otherwise get overlooked by large importers.

No middle men. No additive-packed supermarket wines. No inflated costs.

 

WE CANNOT SHIP TO THESE STATES:

Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Delaware, Hawaii, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Utah

If you live in one of these states, you’ll need to select an alternative delivery destination.

Please be aware: We cannot deliver to P.O. boxes.

An adult signature is required for all shipments of alcohol.

A note about our Satisfaction Guarantee: Wines, sadly, are not like power tools. A hardware store can always resell a hammer you used a couple times. Not so for a bottle of wine. Once you pop the cork, it’s a total loss to us. For that reason, we cannot offer full refunds on these offers. But don’t worry, if the wine arrives and there’s something wrong with it, just give us a call and we’ll do what we can to make it right. As a Bonner Private Wine Partnership member, your satisfaction is all-important to us.
