Bonny Doon Contra 2011. Vibrant, deep purple. Aromas of wild bramble berry, sour red cherry. Flavors are similar but veers fatter with a mulberry like richness. Medium bodied, with balanced acid and medium- tannin that is fine and slightly drying on the finish. This needs air as this note is from day 3.

Jul 30th, 2014Bonny Doon Contra '11. Vibrant ruby. Spicy, tart cherry and mulberry aromas; vaguely gravelly. Fruit blooms in the mouth with black raspberry, floral pastille and fleshy riper notes. Texturally, firm deep and lovely. Again driven by juicy acidity.

Well balanced, unique, jammy, and sour! Definitely builds with time.... Not your common Sonoma red blend!

Probably my favorite from this maker. Reasonably priced Cali version of a Rhone. Extremely juicy round and ripe, with just a touch of France around the edges.

A medium red with soft tannins and black bramble fruit flavours. In a blind tasting you could be forgiven for thinking it was French due to a rustic twist in the middle of the palate.

Awesome rhone'ish blend with dark fruit, hint of anise, currant and cassis.
