    August 17, 2014 - 50/50. . ‘It tastes like Bacon’ Bonarda from higher elevation. Lots of fruit aromas. Red and dark red fruit aromas.

    March 16, 2014 - Sou fã já tem mais de 10 anos dos Crios Syrah-Bonarda. A Susana Balbo continua consistente em fazer vinho barato bem acima do seu preço em qualidade.
    O nariz apresenta café e menta, além das frutas vermelhas frescas.
    Vinho leve, a boca é equilibrada, com a acidez da Bonarda realizando equilíbrio surpreendente com a estrutura da Syrah.
    A mistura inusitada aproveitou cepa que já foi tratada como inferior tanto na Itália como na Argentina e uniu-a com a francesa nobre, fazendo com que a Bonarda cresça ao lado da profunda syrah, concedendo acidez interessante ao belo conjunto.
    Um best buy em sua faixa de preço.
    14% de álcool.

    October 27, 2013 - Lots of dark fruit but with a good dose of acidity. Not quite the bitterness of tannins.
