Tasting - Ksana Bonarda



Name:  Ksana Bonarda
Variety: 100 % Bonarda
Region:  Mendoza
Country:  Argentina
Year:  2008
Price: $9.95
Tasting Date and Location: 18 April 2013 at Vintage Cellar

Winery 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: Like many of the other wines at today's tasting, it was very weak on nose—virtually no aroma.  On the palate, it was dry and the tannins come through.  Other than that, it didn’t really make much of an impression on me.

 I tasted this on its own with no food.
