This Bonarda shows a deep violet color with bluish reflections. The nose is intense and complex. Intense aromas of ripe black fruit, blackberries, raspberries, black cherries, chocolate and liquor, with some spicy notes of fresh herbs provided by the Cabernet Franc appear. The taste has a sweet impact with silky tannins and aromas of ripe black and red fruits with notes of licorice and vanilla. Its natural acidity is refreshing. By its concentration and complexity the finish is long and persistent.
Enjoy this wine alongside roast lamb, empanadas, and light pastas dishes.
Critic Ratings
James Suckling Review - Rated 92:
Aromas of blueberries, ripe plums, bitter chocolate, cloves, licorice and lemon leaves. Medium-bodied with fine, fleshy tannins. Plush and youthful core of dark fruit. Nicely framed. Drink or hold.
Robert Parker Wine Advocate Review - Rated 92:
The aromatic, floral and elegant 2019 Bonarda has 15% Cabernet Franc blended with the Bonarda from El Mirador in Rivadavia. It's fresh, and has moderate 13.5% alcohol, juicy fruit and fine-grained tannins. It matured in ancient oak vats for 15 months.
Wine Enthusiast Review - Rated 90:
Light notes of berries and vanilla emerge from the glass. A rich palate offers ripe cherry, raspberry and hints of dark chocolate. It has gentle acidity and smooth tannins that leads to a pleasant finish. This is a classic Bonarda that is medium in weight and full of red fruit flavors.
