90pts Wine Enthusiast

Bold, generous, full bodied and richly flavored, this wine offers sweet raspberries, dark plums, chocolate and tantalizing oak spices. Melting tannins coat the mouth alongside persistent acidity for a long finish.

Tasting Notes

A red fruit driven wine with underlying ripe cherry, raspberry and currants with a medium weight mid palate bursting with berry fruit flavors and asking for a savory dinner companion. The texture is smooth and elegant on the palate with balanced acidity. The palate is fresh berries, plum, and hints of cinnamon and vanilla. Crafted to be enjoyed upon release, this wine will also stand the test of time for those who can wait!

Winemaker Notes

Meaning "good year" in Italian, the phrase "Bon Anno", heralds the celebration of good times, and is a fortuitous play on Vintner Matt Bonanno’s last name. Since the first release in 2004, BonAnno wines are consistently fruit forward, juicy, ripe and well-balanced. Offering tremendous value for the price as well as Napa Valley name recognition, BonAnno wines should have a place on your table every night- Salute!

Blend: 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3.5% Malbec and 3.5% Petit Verdot
