Patagonia Wine
Patagonia is a region in the southernmost, lowest and coolest part of Argentina. It is literally at the end of the earth, its glaciers at Tierra del Fuego aiming the way to the South Pole. Much of it is a harsh, windy desert, flat, dry as jerky, with outstretched prairies and sheep farms, but the patches of green that exist have surprisingly become a destination for quality wine-making.
Because of its significantly cooler growing conditions, cool-climate, international varietals do very well here such as Gewürztraminer, Riesling, Semillon and Pinot Noir. Other grapes grown are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Chardonnay.
It is divided into two main regions:
The Rio Negro: began its viticultural history at the time of the railroad, which was built and owned by the British. The Brits found places to plant apple and pear orchards for fruit to be shipped back to England, and no doubt missing the wines they were used to drinking from Europe, decided to plant vineyards Read more »

The New York Times Travel section named Patagonia's wine-producing provinces one of the places to visit in 2010-http://nyti.ms/cJDWum. I completely concur, so get out to visit those friendly, beautiful wineries in Rio Negro and Neuquén before the word gets out.

Jelu Estate Jelu Pinot Noir 2009
Snoothrank:
Tart pomegranate flavor is a nice touch in this budget pinot, but the bouquet is rather flat and the finish, though aided by some light citrus notes, is fairly rough. Better than some French pinot for the price, but Argentina has more to offer in this department. (AV 86, http://argovino.com/?p=1034) Read More

Bodega Familia Schroeder Pinot Noir Saurus Select 2007
Snoothrank:
Hidden behind an opaque bouquet of sweet onion is a lush if somewhat monotonous pinot with a touch of woodiness and a wonderful long finish - worth a try for pinot fans. (AV 87, http://argovino.com/?p=238) Read More

Bodega Nqn Picada 15 White 2011
Snoothrank:
If only the soft and luscious aromas of lemongrass and green plum were reflected in the mouth, too. The wine is tart, overly sharp, and hot in the mouth despite having just 13% alcohol so much so that its hard to discern much flavor at all. (AV 82, http://argovino.com/?p=1056) Read More

Bodega Chacra Pinot Noir Río Negro Barda 2011
Snoothrank:
Lots to offer in this hard-to-find pinot, from the mix of red cherry and shoe leather in the nose to the smooth strawberry and cherry flavors in the mouth, with just enough structure to carry them through a pleasantly extended finish. Deserves to be drunk slowly! (AV 89, http://argovino.com/?p=1031) Read More

Restivo Malbec Reserve 2010
Snoothrank:
Disclaimer: I've had a lot of good wine, but sometimes drink for effect as much as taste, so...Lived in Buenos Aires for six months and enjoy a good Malbec, but a lot more in inflated pesos than Costco dollars. With that said, this is pretty good stuff. First whiff hits you in the nose like a polo stick or mallet or whatever the heck they use... Read More
