2005 Lonko, Malbec, Patagonia 12/750ml
#AR0EE885000MBM
UPC code: 7 84585 00988 6
Made from 100% Malbec. Manual harvest. Careful selection of
the grapes, destemming. Traditional maceration during 21 days
with selected yeasts. Malolactic fermentation. The wine has
been aged in French and American oak barrels for 12 months,
and a minimum of 8 months in bottle prior to release.
Intense ruby red color with purple tints. Aromas of ripe plum
and mulberry with a subtle hint of violet. Ripe fruits and
prune on the palate with a touch of spice and vanilla. An
elegant and balanced wine with a long finish.
"The
purple-colored 2005 Malbec Lonko was aged in French and
American oak for 12 months. The bouquet offers cedar, spice
box, a hint of violets, cola, and black cherry. Medium-bodied
with a touch of elegance, the wine has solid depth, savory
flavors, enough structure to evolve for 1-2 years, good
balance and moderate length. Drink it from 2010 to 2017. "
- Wine Advocate (Dec. 08), 88 pts
"This
undiscovered gem from the Neuquen region features impressive
structure with firm tannins and a delicious core of fruit."

2006 Lonko, Malbec, Reserve, Patagonia 12/750ml
#AR0EE885001MBM
UPC code: 7 84585 01067 7

"The
2006 Malbec Reserva is purple/black in color with a bouquet of
black cherry, blackberry, and mineral. On the palate it is a
bit austere revealing an intellectual personality and enough
structure to evolve for 3-4 years. It may offer a bit more
pleasure with further cellaring and should be at its best from
2012 to 2020."
