Winery Review: "The bouquet is floral and lightly jammy, with berry aromas and a savory note or two. To the uninitiated, this is a great introduction to Bonarda. Finishes solid. Very sweet, berry smell with some rooty undertones. Kind of dry, makes your lips pucker." Vintage Cellar wine notes
My Review: Fantastic deep red hue accompanied with a bitter grapefruit smell on the ol' nose. Boysenberry and pepper initially jumped out on the pallet followed by some of its toasty coffee friends. Long strawberry finish with a light puckering tannic structure. Rich aromas supported by an equally agreeable and friendly South American terroir. Great gem form the other America!
I sampled the wine without food.
