Critic Ratings
James Suckling Review - Rated 92:
Aromas of blueberries, ripe plums, bitter chocolate, cloves, licorice and lemon leaves. Medium-bodied with fine, fleshy tannins. Plush and youthful core of dark fruit. Nicely framed. Drink or hold.
Robert Parker Wine Advocate Review - Rated 92:
The aromatic, floral and elegant 2019 Bonarda has 15% Cabernet Franc blended with the Bonarda from El Mirador in Rivadavia. It's fresh, and has moderate 13.5% alcohol, juicy fruit and fine-grained tannins. It matured in ancient oak vats for 15 months.
Wine Enthusiast Review - Rated 90:
Light notes of berries and vanilla emerge from the glass. A rich palate offers ripe cherry, raspberry and hints of dark chocolate. It has gentle acidity and smooth tannins that leads to a pleasant finish. This is a classic Bonarda that is medium in weight and full of red fruit flavors.
