I'm trying some of the other grapes and the Bonarda was great. Good quick drinking wine, but with bright black fruit and more heft than I expected. Nice!

Raspberries, pomegranates, hints of cumin, earthy minerals, not quite ripe plums, watercress, and maybe coriander seed; nice acidity, long aftertaste with a touch of apple just before the end. Lively and likable--not as complex as my description makes it sound! At its peak right now. [Tasted over more than an hour (with no meaningful change) from the Jancis Robinson glass. Also very briefly tasted this wine from several other glasses, which gave significantly less complexity--but so briefly that it would be unfair to name the glasses.] This is all about youthful freshness, so personally, I would avoid decanting or aging this wine.

Spicy and powerful on the nose. And bright and frisky on the palate, probably more serious than it needs to be. For the price, the wine is right in the pocket.
