Tasting- Ksana


Name:  Ksana
Variety:  Bonarda
Region:  Mendoza
Country:  Argentina
Year:  2008
Price:  $9,95
VC Review:  The bouquet is floral and lightly jammy, with berry aromas and a savory note or two. To the uninitiated, this is a great introduction to Bonarda. Finishes solid. Very sweet, berry smell with some
rooty undertones. Kind of dry, makes your lips pucker.
My notes:  There is something a little off on the nose of this wine.  It has your standard dark cassis and blackberry notes but with a rubbery, new shoe smell as well.  The taste is very well balanced between spice and berry, acidity and dryness.  
Food:  n/a
