BONARDA
This sustainably farmed, single vineyard wine is composed of 100% hand harvested grapes from Alto Agrelo in Lujan de Cuyo, Mendoza. Reunion Bonarda has a deep purple color with black and violet hues. The wine explodes with blackberry, strawberry, and currants on the nose which leads to rich, round fruit and a touch of white chocolate and tobacco on the palate and a smooth, balanced finish.
TINTO
This certified sustainably farmed wine is a blend of 40% Malbec, 40% Bonarda, and 20% Merlot from two estate vineyards: one in the Los Sauces District of Tunuyan in the Valle de Uco and the other from Alto Agrelo. The combination of the 3 varietals leads to an exceptional and extremely expressive yet easy drinking wine that highlights each grape in the blend. This balanced wine starts off with ripe fruity aromas of plum, cherry, blackberry, and strawberry that leads to a rich and round mid palate laced with chocolate and tobacco and finishes with smooth, velvet texture.
GRAN TERROIR PINOT NOIR
This hand harvested, single vineyard,
from Gualtallary is 100% PInot Noir and
spends 12 months in French oak barrels.
Notes of strawberry, cherry, mushroom,
baking spices, and clove are lifted from
the glass. This leads into powdered white
sugar, vanilla, blackberry, and cinnamon
notes on the palate with smooth tannins
and medium acidity. A long finish persists
with caramel red apple, tobacco, and
cola qualities.
TERROIR UNICO MALBEC
This hand harvested, single vineyard,
from Gualtallary is 100% Malbec. The
wine predominantly shows notes of coffee,
blueberry, and chocolate with secondary
notes of licorice, black cherry,
cinnamon, baking spices, and sage. The
complexity of the wine extends into the
palate by being big and bold without
being flabby, with smooth tannins and
light acidity. The wine finishes extremely
strong with plum, cassis, doughnut cake,
and fine silky tannins. A wine that out
delivers it’s price by tenfold!
BODEGAS ERCAVIO Tempranillo Roble 2011 {Tierra de Castilla} 90 points
“Fragrant aromas of blueberry, blackberry, mocha and smoky Indian spices. Very good clarity and lift to the flavors of dark berries, vanilla and candied flowers. The clinging finish repeats the smoke and floral notes. Outstanding value here.”
