Name: Ksana Bonarda 2008
Variety: Bonarda
Region: Mendoza, Argentina
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: Can't say I've ever had a Bonarda wine, or else I don't remember. The smell though was intoxicatingly sweet and I loved it. It was jammy and rich in Black Raspberry, or at least what I would think it would smell like. The taste had a nice tannic component and a little dry, with a little acidity flawlessly mixed with raspberry flavors. I instantly thought of sour raspberries and thats what I was going with. I would buy this bottle just to smell. Turn it into a candle so I can let that aroma fill the room because it was really good.
