Earthy, friendly berry aromas are good sbecause they don’t overpower, and although the mouth is chunky and a little tannic and rubbery, the flavors are deep and ripe. Tarry and dark on the finish, with typical Bonarda weight.

Gravelly and raw on the nose, with clay, raspberry and minerality. The palate feels gritty and tight, while the flavors veer toward baked cherry and candy. Sweet and candied on the finish as well.

Generic cherry/berry aromas come with earth and leathery notes, while the palate is sealed and capped by blazing acidity. Condensed and sharp in the mouth, with minty, rubbery finishing notes.
