This smells extraordinarily fresh. Coffee and cherries. A little hint of uncut cigar and tobacco leaf, but the signature of this wine (the Bonomo autograph) is its soaring freshness and purity.

This is round and soothing, with ripe red and blue fruits complicated by a tactile mineral tinge. It finishes fresh with medium length, leaving bitter hints of licorice to linger.

This has notes of sage, tobacco, dark chocolate, hazelnuts and dried cherries. Olives and gravy, too. It’s rich, intensely flavorful and full-bodied, with firm and fleshy tannins. Savory feel.
Baked blueberries, rosemary, spiced cherries and cloves on the nose. Nicely smoky and savory, with a medium to full body, with tight tannins and a focused finish. Drink or hold.

This flows across the palate with ease, silky smooth and polished in feel, with cooling acidity that enlivens its ripe cherry-berry fruits. The 2020 finishes with admirable length.

Attractive aromas of ripe berries, light spices, cocoa and black earth. Sleek and polished with medium body and vibrant fruit character. Textured and balanced with a flavorful finish. Drink or hold.
