Wine Description
Made from 100% Bonarda grown in the Lujan de Cuyo vineyard. The wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, with an additional 12 months in bottle.
Tasting Notes
Dark as night, this ruby red wine offers attractive aromas of smoked oak (from one year of aging), truffles and tobacco, combined with the red fruits typical of this variety. On the palate, it is complex with mature tannins, and holds a strong personality with a balanced and supple finish.
Reviews
International Wine Cellar - Jan/Feb 2009 Issue142
“Good bright, saturated ruby. Brooding aromas of crushed blackberry, leather, tobacco and smoky oak. Sweet and primary, with nicely concentrated flavors of crushed dark berries. Finishes with ripe, fine tannins and a note of dark chocolate. Perhaps still a bit youthfully sullen, but this is a big, bold bonarda with plenty of texture and richness.”
