A deep, stony, mineral bonarda with red cherries, blue fruit, graphite and some grilled herbs. Tight and juicy on the palate with firm but resolved tannins and a long, linear finish. Lovely austerity here. Drink or hold.
Bonarda is a red grape variety with origins in northern Italy, where it is known as Bonarda Piemontese, and in Argentina, where it is called Bonarda. In Italy, Bonarda Piemontese produces light-bodied red wines with flavors of red fruits such as cherry and raspberry, along with floral and herbal notes. In Argentina, Bonarda is more deeply colored and produces wines that are medium to full-bodied, with intense fruit flavors, moderate acidity, and soft tannins. What makes Bonarda unique is its adaptability to different climates and winemaking styles, showcasing a range of expressions from light, easy-drinking wines to more complex and structured examples. Bonarda wines are versatile and pair well with a variety of foods, including grilled meats, pasta dishes, and aged cheeses. The grape's historical significance in both Italy and Argentina reflects its resilience and ability to thrive in diverse terroirs, offering wine enthusiasts a taste of Old World tradition and New World innovation.

Despite having similar alcohol levels and acidity and freshness parameters, the 2020 Bonarda comes through as riper than the 2019 I tasted next to it. It reveals some earthy tannins and a faint rusticity, inherent to the variety. 25,000 bottles produced.

Wine Enthusiast
Winemaker Alejandro Vigil added a dash of Cabernet Franc to this 85% Bonarda. The result is a full-bodied red that offers conentrated notes of berry jam and licorice on the nose and palate. The wine’s fruit-forward character includes red berries mixed with subtle notes of thyme alongside good acidity.
Winery Notes
This Bonarda shows a deep violet color with bluish reflections. The nose is intense and complex. Intense aromas of ripe black fruit, blackberries, raspberries, black cherries, chocolate and liquor, with some spicy notes of fresh herbs provided by the Cabernet Franc appear. The taste has a sweet impact with silky tannins and aromas of ripe black and red fruits with notes of licorice and vanilla. Its natural acidity is refreshing. By its concentration and complexity the finish is long and persistent.
