Tasting- Ksana Bonarda

Name: Ksana Bonarda
Variety: 100% Bonarda
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2008
Price: $9.95
 
Winery Review: The bouquet is floral and lightly jammy, with berry aromas and a savory notes 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:  I detected a very earthy, dirty flavor from this wine that was surprisingly pleasant. Notes of asparagus and vegetables were on the nose. A peppery, spicy finish made this wine intriguing. A little dry, but not too dry. I would drink this wine again.

I tasted this wine with on its own without food.
