Your invited to join America's most unique wine club
Join the Partnership Today and Receive the High altitude Argentine collection
Only 50 spots available...
Experience Argentine Wines ranging from 3,000 ft to almost 9,000 ft, and some of the most isolated vineyards in the world.
Today, I’d like to extend to you a special invitation to try our 2021 Extreme Altitude Argentine Wine Collection
It’s been almost two years since we launched the Bonner Private Wine Partnership with a single shipping container packed with wines from the foothills of the Andes mountains.
The stars of the show then were two malbecs from the extreme altitude Calchaquí Valley – our own Tacana (from the Bonner family ranch at Gualfin) and Sunal Ilógico (from an even higher vineyard at Luracatao several hours up the valley).
Today, we return to this vast frontier where, as the Wall Street Journal described it in 2019, “condors fly above giant cactuses...ancient rock formations vie for attention with Indian ruins...[and where they make] critically acclaimed wines that are largely unavailable outside of the country.”
Here's the deal... due to the small batch nature of these wines, we have to limit the number of members we allow as to not run out of wines.
Recently, we've gotten additional shipments sent to our warehouse in California (after dealing with the global shipping crisis for months!) and we're able to open the Partnership up to new members.
As of right now - we have 50 spots in the Partnership available after accounting for over 1,800 current members.
Since you are a recent purchaser of our malbec collection, I’d like to offer you to the head of the line to get this special collection of wines and membership into our wine club.
Something to keep in mind: We’re not some wine club that specializes in cheap bulk wines dressed up with a “cool” label. We don’t bombard our members with dead, underwhelming wines until they cancel.
We send out wines only 4 times a year... and we ensure they will be the most alive, interesting, and delicious wines you will drink.
Is it a good deal? Well, how does less than the cost of your daily coffee sound?
And how about backing that up with a guarantee that you will love these wines... or we will cheerfully return your money? (You don’t even have to send back the wines.)
Remember, we only have 50 memberships available to claim, so don’t wait to join. Once all of spots are claimed, this offer will close.
Simply scroll down to view the entire collection and membership benefits in more detail.
Cheers,
Will Bonner
What's included in the Extreme altitude argentine collection...
Your Bottle of Sunal Ilógico 2018 (91 pts)
The isolated vineyard of Luracatao sits at 8,950 ft. above sea level, on a northerly slope completely surrounded by mountains.
The surrounding rocks soak up the heat, protecting the vines from freezing at night.
When winemaker Augustin Lanus first made wine from Luracatao, the wine’s inky red color actually managed to turn his stainless-steel vats bright red!
(The coloring is a tell-tale sign of high resveratrol levels. Estimates suggest levels in this wine may be up to 10 TIMES that of other wines.)
Augustin was also surprised to find notes that you don’t tend to find in other Malbecs – black olive, violet, graphite, and blackberry.
During a blind tasting with legendary wine curator, Joaquin Aberdi, Sunal came in N.1 in its category.
And critic Mariano Obrega named Sunal Ilogico his “N. 1 of 2018,” noting its “freshness” and “pure intensity”
Sunal is a clean wine (high-altitude growing conditions require less chemicals than lower regions) with ZERO filtration and NATURAL fermentation. Aged in old French oak (no fake oak additives) for a year, followed by new French oak for another year.
(This wine is NOT available at your local supermarket or fine wine shop.)
Your Bottle of Puramun Reserva Malbec 2016 (95 pts)
As it turned out, he was leaving to do something special: to handcraft his first personal, 100% family-owned wine, Puramun. (Only 4,000 cases a year.)
The wine has received rave reviews from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate (92 pts) and wine competition judge Tim Atkin (95 pts), who praised its “elegant…subtle spices, well integrated oak and silky, palate-caressing tannins.”
Your Bottle of Valle de la Puerta Gran Reserva 2016
The ancient Incan valley of Famatina is nestled between Salta and Mendoza. Here, the La Puerta winery produces a big, yet approachable wine by blending Malbec (60%), Syrah (23%), and Bonarda (17%) – the three strongest grapes for Argentina’s soil.
The result is a smoky flavor with a touch of red berry. “Gran Reserva” means small batch production and high quality. The logo is an ancient glyph of a puma, sacred to “Diaguita” people who once warred with the Inca in these same fields.
Your Bottle of Casarena Cabernet Franc 2017 (92 pts)
In 2007, a group of friends began restoring an old sandstone winery from the 1930s in Luján de Cuyo. By 2011, their wines were placing among the top 2% of vintages worldwide.
Agrelo is THE spot for cab franc in Argentina. Stick your nose in there for tell-tale cab franc aromas: black fruit and bell pepper. Then pour a glass to enjoy the unique, stony mouthfeel – think less plush Burgundian, more ‘high plains drifter.’ 92 pts (James Suckling), 92 pts (Tim Atkins).
Your Bottle of Mayuco Malbec 2019 (90 pts)
A never-before-imported 90 pt malbec (8,000 ft) from the winemaker behind Bill Bonner's Tacana, Raul Davalos.
If you can resist taking your first sip (no small feat), you’ll also get a touch of mint and cherry. When you finally do take that first sip, you’ll feel chocolate and fruit glide long your palate, supported by velvety tannins.
Like Tacana, Mayuco is one of those complex wines that make it hard to go back to those flimsy supermarket vintages. That’s because Mayuco is a pure expression of its terroir in the Calchaquí Valley… where winemaker Raul Davalos continues a family tradition 200 years old, producing handmade, unfiltered, critically acclaimed wines.
Your Bottle of Luca Pinot Noir 2018 (94 pts)
Luca Vineyards made history as the first to plant Pinot Noir at over 4,500 feet - the highest elevations in Mendoza for these varietals. Located in Gualtallary, they called the vineyard the G-Lot.
This wine’s Burgundian style makes it one of Argentina’s leading and highest-regarded Pinots.
Beautiful garnet color with aromas of wild strawberries, saddle leather and cola root. A complex Pinot with notes of leather, spice, and cherry confiture on the palate. Pairs well with foods such as lamb chops, grilled salmon, roasted duck or chicken and game birds. 94 pts (James Suckling), 92 pts (Wine Advocate).
6 Bottles of High Altitude Argentine Wines...
(including the 8,950 ft. 2018 Sunal Ilógico)...
Shipped (free) Right To Your Doorstep...
You might assume these bottles are expensive...
Not at all... for the simple reason that we don’t pay retail... and neither will you.
Americans have been trained to think that a good wine must be more expensive.
But that’s simply not the case.
Let’s say a bottle costs $100... how much of that $100 is actually paying the wine?
About $20. That’s it.
The rest? Marketing costs and the dreaded “3-tier system”... a legal framework left over from Prohibition that basically guarantees three levels of mark-up (not including taxes) on any bottle you buy in the US.
I’m able to bypass that system.. it’s one of the many perks I enjoy as head of America’s only wine partnership, called The Bonner Private Wine Partnership.
We’re a private group of about 1,800 wine lovers who source seldom-imported foreign wines directly... without the usual middlemen, bad wine, or inflated pricing.
All year round, Diego, Barry, and me scour the globe for great wine, making deals directly with vineyards... mostly small batch places just like Sunal...
And that brings me to the wines I’d like to send to your doorstep today.
Your bottle of Sunal Ilógico 2018 (8,950 ft. - 91 pts)... your bottle of Puramun Reserva Malbec 2016 (95 pts) from Argentina’s “most important winemaker"... your bottle of Valle de la Puerta Gran Reserva 2016 from Argentina's "Sacred Valley"... your bottle of Casarena Cabernet Franc 2017 (3,011 ft. - 92 pts) from THE spot for cab franc in Argentina... your bottle of Mayuco Malbec 2019 (8,000 ft. - 90 pts) never-before-imported, from the winemaker behind our very own Tacana Malbec... and your bottle of Luca Pinot Noir 2018 (4,500 ft. - 94 pts) from the highest elevation Pinot Noir vineyard in Argentina!
Okay, so how much is a quarterly membership to the Bonner Private Wine Partnership going to cost?
Well, as I said earlier, a single case of the Calchaquí wine goes for $450... and they sell out an entire vintage in less than 24 hours...
And I’ve seen bottles of a certain high-altitude wine being sold for as much as $598 for a single bottle (that would be over $3,000 for a collection of six!)...
(which is crazy because that certain wine actually has lower point scores than other bottles included in your collection)
But you won’t spend several thousand dollars here... you won’t pay $450... or even $300...
You’ll pay just $199 for your first quarter with the club (shipping is on us!)
Your 100% Money Back Guarantee
(and no, you don’t have to send back the wine)
If you don’t love your high altitude Argentine wines, you have 30 days to request a refund.
And you don’t even have to send the remaining bottles back.
Yes, you could drink every single bottle and ask for a refund. There’s no way we’d be able to tell.
But we’re confident that you’ll love what you get and want to stick around for more!
After your $199 introductory shipment, subsequent shipments will be billed at our normal fee of $249... but there is NO obligation. We will let you know when your bottles are ready to ship and you can cancel at any time!
So...interested in sampling great wine at zero risk?
Well if you’re still reading, I’m going to take a wild guess that the answer is “YES!”

About the Bonner Private Wine Partnership
Founded by Will Bonner, the Partnership is a group of around 2,500 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, Oklahoma, 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.
