Country: Argentina

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

My Review: The color of this wine is a dark ruby red. On the nose the aroma is full of plum, blackberry, leather, and some rubber tire. On the palate it has a fruity start, some hotness on the palate, and finishes dry and tannic.
