Tasting - Ksana Bonarda


Name: Ksana Bonarda
Varietal: Bonarda
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2008
Price: $9.95

Vintage Cellar Review: 
The bouquet is floral and lightly jammy, with berry aromas and a savory note or two. To the uninitiated, this is a great introduction to Bonarda. Finishes solid. Very sweet, berry smell with some rooty undertones. Kind of dry, makes your lips pucker.

My Review: I tasted the Bonarda right after the Shiraz, which was probably a terrible mistake. In comparison to the Shiraz, the Bonarda was almost bland. I could taste and smell cherry, but it was barely noticeable. Definitely dry.
