Like a good Bonarda should be, this is sweet, lush, dense and jammy on the nose. The palate brings big tannins and a slight rubbery mouthfeel, but the flavors of black cherry and wild berry are big, tasty and untamed. Full of power; needs airing upon opening but aging isn’t necessary. Includes 20% Malbec and 10% Cab Franc. ——M.S.(3/1/2011)—— 89
