Tasting - Ksana 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 note 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: The first thing I thought when I gave this wine a good sniff was damn that's gonna be pretty strong. I was not disappointed. It had a solid level of tannic oomph that I liked and there were hints of some cool berry flavors that felt kind of just out of reach to my palate. It certainly had that cool, dry mouth-coating feeling, which I also liked. Overall, it had the tannin power but not too much else.
I did not try this with food.
