| 75 | | | 88 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Bonarda is a grape type associated with California's Charbono and more likely originating in the Savoie, France, on its eastern border with Switzerland, rather than in Italy. The grape produces lush, ruby-red, dark-colored, aromatic red berry-flavored wines with soft tannins. This one hews classically to the type, with its lovely ruby red nearly opaque color, full body and tasty red berry fruit permeating both aromas and flavors. Tannins are ripe and graceful, so won't interfere with anyone's enjoyment. Finish is moderately long, clean. Good value. Serve cool, about 60°F/15°C in large-bowled tulip-shaped glasses. Foods: Salamis and other cured meats; lasagna; roast turkey with sage; roast or grilled duck (try raisin bread stuffing if roasted whole); Cornish hen split and grilled, basted with some of the wine and red currant jam, melted.
