Its saturated purple color is accompanied by an exceptional bouquet of mulberry jam, spring flowers and loads of berry fruit. Although it was aged 12 months in French oak, there is no hint of oak, only super fruit, medium to full body, and a terrific mouthfeel as well as aromatics. This crowd-pleaser should drink nicely for another 2-3 years.\u003cstrong\u003e-\u003cspan class=\"whiteTxt\" id=\"ctl00_ContentMaster_DataList1_ctl00_sourceLabel\"\u003eWine Advocate #208 Aug 2013\u003c\/span\u003e 91 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tMaipe Bonarda Reserve 2012 is made from 100% hand-selected Bonarda from the best parcels of the estate.
