Mendoza
An 85-15 per cent Malbec and Bonarda blend.
Dark purple in the glass.
Chocolate, black fruit and spicy on the rich nose.
Thick in the mouth, spicy, tarry, chocolate, blackberry, black cherry, currants, cranberry, a firm edge and quite tart bordering on shrill.
A tangy finish.
Not as good, IMHO, as their Cabernet Sauvignon or the Syrah-Bonarda blend, both of which I have recently enjoyed.
Purchased at $13.95 (Canadian).
