Here's a fresh and fruity, lively but also rich and sunny red from Argentina, from the under sung bonarda variety....
Bonarda is widely grown in Mendoza, especially in lower altitude eastern vineyards where its easy, low tannin style...
Bonarda deals in something other, in this case deep, dark and handsome. Nothing held back, shy or demure about it....

This has a fresh, medium-high intensity nose of dark berry, blackberry, plum, spices, and minty herb with savoury/meaty undertones and a fine streak of stony minerality. It is full-bodied on the ripe palate with dark berry, chocolatey oak, and spice flavours supported by fine, integrated tannins and balanced acidity. Some chalkiness on the mid-palate, while the long, satisfying finish has plummy, dark berry, and mineral notes. Tasted Oct/2020.
