Description: | Tasting Notes\r\nIn Los Cardones, Malbec produces a very unique savory and saline expression. The very intense sunshine at 5,700\u2032 elevation produces concentrated dark fruit flavors. The cold Andean nights lend floral and sweet spice aromatics.\r\nAbout Anko Winery\r\nAnko means \u201chigh water\u201d in the native Indian language of Salta, located in the northwest corner of Argentina. Our estate vineyards in Estancia Los Cardones, named for the area\u2019s majestic\r\ncacti which can grow as tall as 30 feet, are indeed an oasis amid the surrounding jagged landscape.\r\nIn this rugged, mountainous desert, an \u201cAnko,\u201d or high altitude oasis, was treasured as a precious sanctuary, protection from the harsh elements of nature. Wine Enthusiast quoted Anko winemaker Jeb Mausbach as follows: \u201cSalta is a land of extremes\u2014extreme beauty, extreme altitude, extreme sunlight. Extremes make for a singular expression of Malbec\u2014powerful, structured wines with a savory minerality that is very different from other\r\nregions in Argentina.\u201d |
