Ionia Imports

New distributor who is trying to break into the kc market

These wines are from their Argentine selections

Festivo Torrontes 2010 lots of aromatics.. pretty round flavors of the stone fruits... not overly sweet

Festivo Rose of Malbec? light red fruits on the nose.. but a little harsh on the finish.. rustic maybe

Festivo Malbec 2009  ... very nice fruit on the palate. not a lot of structure but easy drinking for the money

Calypso Malbec 2009 mid priced wine... good fruit and flavors... Calypso is the muse of art and music

Gran Monteviejo 2006.. surprisingly structured for the age.. malbec with some syrah and merlot.. a little dusty on the finish

Lindaflor Malbec 2006 100 % malbec.. juicy.. lots of structure or lengths of flavors... lovely finish... winner of the bunch

Just came across your blog Alan and it's great to see our wines on here! We're actually down to a bottle or two of Lindaflor 2006 and then it's 2008, still spectacular though.
