6 Bottles of High Altitude Argentine Wines Shipped (Free) Right to your doorstep

Your Bottle of Sunal Ilógico 2018 (8,950 ft.)

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)

In 2010, Argentina’s “most important winemaker” Pepe Galante walked away from the legendary Catena winery after 34 years at the helm. (Catena regularly gets 90+ points from critics).

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 Atkin).

Your Bottle of Tacuil Unoak Malbec 2020 (8,600 ft.)

A never-before-imported malbec (8,600 ft) from the winemaker behind Bill Bonner's Tacana, Raúl Davalos.

Raúl's father once said he'd shoot him if he ever aged a Tacuil wine in oak. It is not the traditional Calchaquí Valley way.

This Malbec is about as full on as they come, layers upon layers that just keep on giving. Fine, ripe tannins, subtle notes of liquorice and black olive on the finish. We recommend decanting several hours.

Like Tacana, Tacuil Unoak is one of those complex wines that make it hard to go back to those flimsy supermarket vintages. That’s because Tacuil is a pure expression of its terroir in the Calchaquí Valley… where winemaker Raúl 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).

What is the Bonner Private Wine Partnership?

Hi, my name is Will Bonner, founder of the Bonner Private Wine Partnership.

Some years ago, my father, Bill, and I went to explore the foothills of Andes mountains in Northwestern Argentina…

There, I fell in love with the “old world” tradition of wine… and discovered how large importers often ignore exceptional winemakers if they are too far from a major port or produce too few bottles…

When I came back to the US, I had an idea: if I could bring together enough wine lovers to fill a whole shipping container with wine…then I’d be able to bring these fantastic, overlooked wines to America… many for the first time ever!

So I brought together a few friends (including a top international sommelier and a retired winemaker from France’s most famous winery) to do just that…

…thus the Bonner Private Wine Partnership was born.

The Bonner Private Wine Partnership is typically by invitation only. Not because we want to be “exclusive,” but because the wineries we partner with tend to be extremely small batch. Due to recent events, small foriegn wineries face bigger challenges than ever. Which is why I’m offer you this win-win deal: we open our cellar and memberships to you… and our favorite wineries get that little bit of extra help.

You can join us and claim six great bottles of premium Argentine wine.

Please note that if we do not have any open spots left, you will be admitted to our waitlist. Once a member, you’ll receive a collection of fine wine every quarter (4x a year). There’s no obligation though. You can call us to cancel at any time.

Frequently Asked Question

How Often Does the Club Send Out Wine?

We send out collections of six bottles four times a year, once a quarter. We will notify you before sending you the wine. Please note that each shipment is billed separately. This way you can cancel anytime and not get stuck with any wine you don’t want.

Am I Locked in For a Full Year?

No! Your membership is billed quarterly. We send you a notification before shipping your wine each quarter. You can cancel at any time. We don’t want you getting stuck with anything you don’t want. Please note, that after your first discounted fee, your quarterly fee will re-adjust to $249. But again – there’s no obligation to get a second shipment if you don’t want to. Simply cancel any time.

Tell Me About the Team

Will Bonner is an entrepreneur, author, and the founder of the Bonner Private Wine Partnership. His family “accidentally” got into the wine business about a decade ago when his father, Bill, bought an isolated mountain ranch with one of the highest altitude vineyards in the world. Will figured that there were probably other small wineries putting out great wines that most people had probably never heard of. So, he founded the partnership to bring these wines to your doorstep.

Diego Samper is the Partnership’s “wine explorer.” He puts his boots on the ground to make deals with vineyards and bring you great wine.

Barry Gilbert is a former tech executive and Vice Chairman of Sharper Image. After retiring, Barry’s passion for wine led him to create WineVIP, an importer and distributor that allows Americans to own foreign wines at “cellar prices.” He knows the ins and outs of shipping to ensure that wines arrive tasting just as they did in the cellar.

Julien Miquel is a former winemaker from Bordeaux. He has made wines all over the world from Spain to California, including at the famous Chateau Margaux. He is the founder of the award-winning site Social Vignerons.

How Much Does A Membership Cost?

Usually our membership costs $249 a quarter. However, your first quarter shipment – including your collection of Argentine wines – will cost just $174. On top of that, our refund policy guarantees that you’ll love what you receive or we’ll simply give you a full refund (and the wine is yours to keep).

After your first quarter, subsequent shipments will be billed at the regular price of $249. However, we will notify you before shipping and you can cancel at any time. You are not locked in. We don’t want to charge you for wine that you won’t drink.

Tell Me About Your Refund Policy

As part of your introductory, first quarter offer, you will have 30 days to request a 100% refund. And you can keep the wine, our gift to you for giving us a try.

On subsequent shipments, we also offer a 100% refund but you must mail back the wine to us (with corks intact). Otherwise, only a 50% refund will be issued. We do this for business reasons. The potential liability would otherwise be too great for a small club like ours.

But you can avoid any hassle at all by simply canceling before we send a shipment to you. We’ll notify you when we’re preparing it and you can give us a call any time to cancel.

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.

As a Bonner Private Wine Partnership member, your satisfaction is all-important to us.
