This is a terrific value. Vibrant, loaded with fruit, and balanced. Buy cases of this to have on-hand for cookouts this upcoming summer (if it ever gets here).Very dark, blackish ruby. Fantastically lively nose with loads of bright, ripe raspberries and mixed red berries, along with rock dust. The attack is intensely fruity, with excellent concentration. Lots of pure dark and red fruits in the mouth, turning a bit minerally as the finish progresses. A fair amount of soft tannin gives some structure. It's not complex, but it's very flavorful and nicely-textured. B+. Was $7.99 from Winex.com. Imported by Winebow, Inc., NYC.
PS, note that Bonarda in Argentina isn't the same thing as Bonarda in Italy. It's actually the grape called Charbono in this country.
