The 2007 Gran Reserva Bonarda spent 12 months in French and American oak. Underbrush, spice box, violets, mulberry, and blueberry aromas set the stage for a spicy, sweetly-fruited, flavorful Bonarda that justifies the elevated price for this humble variety. Drink it over the next 5-6 years. Importer: Ecosur Group, Salisbury, NC; tel. (704) 645-7176; fax (888) 317-4598; www.ecovalleywines.com
