Mendoza.
I will be the first to admit that I have very limited experience with Bonarda, so I have no idea how accurate my impressions might be.
Medium-dark purple in the glass.
Not much on the nose.
Very tangy and acidic, dry, spicy, menthol, raspberry, cherry, smoky, fairly light weight, beets, chocolate, a little hot. When we reached the last few glasses, the wine had softened and broadened somewhat while remaining quite tangy. Perhaps the wine simply needed some decanting.
A tangy finish.
Not sure what to make of this wine and I am not certain if I liked it. It wasn't a bad wine, but it did seem a little hollow.
Purchased at $12.95 (Canadian).
