First time trying a Bonarda. I enjoyed this wine. Leathery on the nose which sticks around until it opens up, then there's some nice herb and wet leaves, dark plum and black cherry. High acid on the palate up front with a medium plus body. Smooth finish, mellow tannins. Easy drinking overall but a bit big for my own taste. I prefer with food. Will drink again — 10 years ago
Clear, medium ruby to purple in color; on the nose, it's clean with medium intensity primary and secondary aromas of blackberries, blueberries, and graphite; on the palate, it's dry with high acidity, medium tannins, medium alcohol, medium body, and medium intensity primary and secondary flavors of red plum, sweet tabacco, and clay pots with a medium finish. This wine is simple, but balanced and complex. Overall, I rate this wine as good. — 6 months ago

Dark but bright ruby red color together with very nice aromas of wild flowers, red berry fruits, and sweet herbs on the nose. Medium-to-full-bodied followed by delicious taste of fresh red cherry, mulberry, and cinnamon on the palate. Bright acidity, dry, silky but light tannins, and long minty finish. Delicious but a bit expensive. — 9 years ago

I’ve been on a QPR kick lately with this $11 Costco #valledeuco #malbec. Expected bramble fruit, leather notes on the nose but the fresh acidity, balance and restraint on the palate are much appreciated. — 5 years ago
Underrated. Very round and full body after some good time in the decanter. — 10 years ago
