Familia Zuccardi, Mendoza (Argentina) Bonarda 2011

Oct 1, 2013

By

The deep ruby-purple color of this wine and the way it stains the glass when swirled presages its richness and concentration.  The wine has juicy blueberry and dark fruit flavors with a piecrust and coffee note.  The wine is implicitly sweet due to its concentrated fruit, supple tannins, and smooth texture.  A hint of leathery earth shows in the background.  However, the fruit is the quality that lingers on the finish.
