94pts Vinous

The 2022 Bonarda contains 15% Cabernet Franc from Eastern Mendoza and is aged 15 months in foudre (50%), barrel (25%) and tank (25%). This is a vibrant and well-crafted red with blackberry, plum and a hint of raspberry layered over oak aging and a touch of balsamic herbs. Dry, plush and lightly grippy, it flows with good juiciness and black fruit flavors. The fresh vintage further defines these flavors.

92pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Sourced from 100-year-old pergola-trained vines in Rivadavia's El Mirador Vineyard, the 2022 Bonarda contains 15% cofermented Cabernet Franc from Gualtallary and matured in a mix of foudre, barrique and stainless steel for 15 months. It is inky, roasted and savory on the nose, introducing an immensely concentrated, tensile palate before concluding with a sturdy and taut finish.

This shows aromas of asphalt and incisive blue fruit. It’s juicy with precise, round and supple tannins. So pleasant to drink.

Winemaker Notes

This Bonarda shows a deep violet color with bluish reflections. The nose is intense and complex. Intense aromas of ripe black fruit, blackberries, raspberries, black cherries, chocolate and liquor, with some spicy notes of fresh herbs provided by the Cabernet Franc appear. The taste has a sweet impact with silky tannins and aromas of ripe black and red fruits with notes of licorice and vanilla. Its natural acidity is refreshing. By its concentration and complexity the finish is long and persistent.

Enjoy this wine alongside roast lamb, empanadas, and light pastas dishes.

Blend: 85% Bonarda, 15% Cabernet Franc
