Tasting Notes/Food Pairing:
Intense ruby color with bright aromas of fresh red & black raspberries and subtle smoky oak notes. The flavor of freshly-crushed raspberries is echoed on the palate, along with notes of white pepper, dark chocolate, and a touch sandalwood and mint on the finish. Though quite rich and hedonistic, the seamless structure of this wine makes it a candidate for drinking in its youth or over the next few years (if you can wait that long). It will pair well with just about any foods with which you would drink Zinfandel or other fruit-driven reds.

Press:
89 Points, Wine Spectator, 2008
"A flashy style for Bonarda, delivering lots of mocha and fruitcake up front, followed by notes of plum sauce and licorice. There's nice weight on the finish."
