Typical modern "international style" red. Big, fleshy, extracted, and oaky . . . but it's almost impossible to tell what is is and where it's from.Almost fully-saturated black ruby. Oaky nose, featuring loads of baker's chocolate and some jammy dark berry fruit underneath. Dark, chocolatey flavors as well. In terms of flavor intensity, there's a lot here, but it tastes more like some labor-intensive mocha drink from Starbucks than a Bonarda (which should have loads of red berry fruit and good acids). If you like the oaky, way ripe, very extracted "international style," you'll like this more than I did. To me, this is a C+. Was $9.99 at the Clarendon-area Whole Foods in Arlington. Imported by Kysela Pere et Fils.
