This wine is a blend of 60% Bonarda and 40% Malbec. I have never seen these two grapes blended together so I was intrigued when I saw this on the shelf at Party Mart in Louisville, KY.
The wine is a very dark purple color with nice aromas of spice, dark cherries and maybe some blueberry.
The first thing I noticed about this wine was how easy it was to drink. Very smooth tannins. The fruits were a mix of red and dark fruits balanced wonderfully by good acidity. The dark cherry and spices mixed well with some floral components.
The finish on this was medium length and while I doubt anyone would remember or talk about this wine a year after they drank it...I do think this over delivers for the $18 I paid for it.
