Reviews

Jay Miller Wine Advocate 92 Points

Earth/mineral/underbrush; dense and layered, ripe, mouth-filling, impeccable balance, lengthy.

International Wine Cellar 90 Points

Bright ruby. Aromas of black cherry, mocha, coffee and violet complicated by sexy oak. The flavors of blackberry, spices, violet and bitter chocolate are juicy and nicely delineated. Offers lovely texture and weight, but with good lift from the malbec component. A very good blend. Bonarda, which often produces rather rustic, blue-collar wine, clearly benefited from Mendoza's very warm 2009 growing season.
