Tasting - Ksana Bonarda


Name: Ksana Bonarda

Variety: Bonarda (Charbono?)

Region: Mendoza

Country: Argentina

Year: 2008

Price: $9.95

Shop 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: This wine was very dry, as the shop noted.  What I believe is black currants came through on the taste, helping make the wine dry.  You could almost get hints of raspberries when tasting the wine.

With Food? No
