I’m very spoiled with the charbono from Sarah’s, Turley, and T-Vine in CA, but I wanted to try out the Argentine sister grape bonarda. Very similar on the nose but bigger tannins. Same red and black fruit notes, albeit muted. Same level of acidity. Probably too young but the 2014 was nice with red wine beef stew.

Drinks light but is very full bodied. First note I got was tobacco followed by plum.

Nice wine. Close to my educated guess that is now sold out!

Not the best and not the worst. I prefer Malbec and Cabernet separately.
