Bonarda

2009 Colonia Las Liebras Bonarda
Mendoza, Argentina
$7.99

For our first blog post since the store's opening, we want to introduce you to something delicious and almost shockingly inexpensive. Colonia Las Liebras is a seductive little red made in Mendoza, Argentina by five Italians, who are also responsible for the more famous and more expensive Altos las Hormigas. 

The wine is made completely of Bonarda, Argentina's SECOND most planted grape (after Malbec). We find it to be a real eyebrow-raiser. It has a positively scrumptious nose, layered with aromas of juicy red berries and high-toned spice. It's rich, but silky, and, most importantly, it's balanced! The wine falls into the category some folks call "Tuesday Night Wine," meaning you can afford to drink it any old time. But at $7.99, it's a real over-achiever.
