Something different. Waxy, honey suckle. Quite dry. Nice finish. Some salinity. — 2 months ago

2014 vintage, oaky, cherry, plum, smoke, leather, rare steak. Delicious. — 4 years ago
A tad bit effervescent. Absolutely divine. Complex for a white which makes it a more interesting pairing for a range of food. — 5 years ago

Bonarda on a wacky railroad. A lot of different tastes come up while drinking this. Ate it with self made Napoli style pizza while breaking the rules using a litte Asian herbs in the squized tomato. Will buy again. — 4 months ago
Made me think of the Kinks: You really got me. Peaches, pomegranates and baked apple in the nose, showing some evolution. In the mouth…Holy! An amazingly creamy texture that fills the palate and lingers on thanks to a remarkable acidity. Great — 8 months ago

By far the best bonarda I've tasted. So smooth and silky in texture. It was jammy without being syrupy or artificial-tasting. Loads of dark fruit on the nose and palate, perhaps a hint of spice. Extremely enjoyable. Would definitely buy again. 100% Bonarda. 8/11/22. — 4 years ago
Wow! On the nose, dark plums and black cherries, fresh dark liquorice.
On the palate. A first phase of dark plums, black cherries and black berries. Fairly quickly the dark fruit notes are cut through with black liquorice, secondary ripple effects of vegetation and hints of fresh mint. The final third engulfs the medley of flavours laced with fine leather. Medium tannin percolates around, staying for a final bow. Decanted 1hr and 45 min. Served with filet mignon with melted blue cheese, roasted vegetable medley sprinkled with goat’ cheese (sweet potatoes, beets, carrots), asparagus and green pea basil/mint puree (all prepared at home). — 5 years ago

The way it keeps the primary fruit (blackberries, blueberries, white pepper) amazes me. The quality of the tannins is striking, grain texture, fine finish. Technically perfect. — 7 days ago
