Mendoza Bonarda 2022

8.9

Grabbed this with steaks from the grocery store. I am unapologetic; I believe Mendoza is the best place you can go if you've got $12 in your pocket.

I would love to see more Bonarda and less Malbec brought in to the U.S. Bonarda may be relatively simple, but it goes with so many types of food.

@Tom Casagrande I agree 100%. I didn't catch it until this moment, but Delectable detected Bonarda, while this bottle is Malbec. I drink more Bonarda than Malbec, but my corner store is pretty limited. Interesting story, isn't it? 😂

Nose of ripe plum, black currant, raspberry, cinnamon, licorice, and subtle violet. Medium to full body but not as masculine as the last bottle, but still pack a punch. Love the 13% ABV. Will cruise for another 4-5 years.

Interesting wine. This one is a blend of Nebbiolo and Vespolina grapes. Not every surrounding region allow Vespolina, but Boca does.

The nose is muted. Not showing much. Macerated dark fruits, sandstone & black turned earth.

The body is mucher thicker from the extraction & Vespolina. Medium plus, fine, dark, polished tannins. It shows grapy, dark cherries, blackberries, a plum/raspberry blend, poached strawberries with lift of blueberries hues as it sets. Dark spice w/ some heat, dry soils, dark, muddy earth with clay, dry stones, dry tobacco, leather, dry wood plank, dry herbs, with red flowers with red & pink roses, round acidy with a well made, structured, nicely tensioned, polish finish that land on dry, fine tannins and stones.

This will require 8-10 plus years to flush out. — 7 months ago

Interesting, it shows like a Cahors with a lovely violet purple nose and rustic tannin on the palate. It will be interesting to see what age delivers. — 2 years ago
