Sipping Fine Wine

The name "Bonterra" means good earth. All of their wines are from organically grown grapes. Aromas of black fruits and pepper notes. On the palate black cherry and blueberry flavors with some oak and spice tones. Tannins are still a bit strong on vivid acidity. Medium length ending with slight toasty spice character. Ok value.

Frisk og god, dyp rød. Litt bitter ettersmak, men passer perfekt med ost og kjeks.

Paired nicely with a NY Strip. Some spice. Opened up quickly. Pretty fruit forward. Overall good balance.
