Originally tasted 2013. Now 3/27/15 you can almost smell the smooth texture. Nose smells of brighter red fruit than color reveals. Raspberry with a little violet slipped in on the back. Palate is sleek and smooth with volume. Tannins are built in and the boysenberry fruit is long and lingering. It seems straight forward, but loaded with what its got. Giving Bonarda a great name.

Mar 28th, 2015Lots of intensity and weight, good acidity, dark fruit and smoky notes, fair bit of oak and a nice bit of meatiness. A bonarda to lay down for a long time.

Really enjoyed it. Thought it was a Cali cab so I was way off but beautiful nose and amazing profile.

Bright fruit & a fresh nose, lovely bitter undertones & bright acidity enlivining the wine. Matching really well with a complex duck dish

Jan 22nd, 202017/20 (92/100) Темно-гранатовое, практически непрозрачное. Аромат с сильной пряной составляющей - чёрный перец, гвоздика, лавровый лист; спелые чёрные ягоды. Тельное с умеренной кислотностью и довольно интенсивными, мягкими танинами. Насыщенное во вкусе.

Excellent wine. Had it as our second mini decanter at Don Julio. It has a slight dryness in the aftertaste and is drier than the Norton Tote, with excellent flavor and body.
