Product notes

The grapes for this wine come from the Eastern region of Mendoza. The soil and climate there offer a perfect atmosphere for growing Bonarda.

Tasting notes

Intense violet color. Nose packed with dark fruit marmalade and spice flavors. Has a sweet entry followed by soft, round tannins. Bright basil leaves and blueberry flavors that linger on the palate. Pair this wine with the strong flavors of game or the earthy flavors of mushrooms or with both in a dish like Braised Venison with Cremini Mushrooms.
