Shop Review: Previous Vintage, 90 points, Robert Parker 5% Bonarda in its blend. It spent 9 months in 50% new French and American oak. Notes of balsam wood, smoke, black cherry, and spice box lead to a similarly styled wine that comes off as just a bit too lean. Again, the flavors are pleasant, but it should be drunk over the next several years while it retains its fruit
My Review: This was the last wine I tried for the day at the Vintage Cellar. It tasted very dense and dark. I could taste rich chocolate and coffee flavors. This wine was more bitter than some of the other wines I tried. Hints of spices and wood were noticeable, as well as hints of cherry.
I did not have this wine with food.
