Name: Ksana Bonarda Variety: 100% Bonarda
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 (Vintage Cellar).
Personal Review: The nose of the
Ksana Bonarda was dominantly of strawberry jam, but also had a bit of a peppery
quality to it as well. On the palate, it was extremely oaky and tannic. This
wine had all of the qualities in wine that I do not enjoy, such as spice,
tobacco and oak. I had a hard time getting past all of these factors and could
not detect any fruit on the palate.
Food: N/A
