Terra Organica Bonarda Sangiovese

Brand: Terra Organica
Vintage: No
Category: Red Wine
Country: Argentina
Region: Mendoza
Grapes: Bonarda Blend, Sangiovese
Rating: 8/10

This is the first time I came cross a Bonarda wine, which was surprisingly interesting.

The wine has plenty of fruits in it, especially these black berries, but not too strong to drink even with white meats. I am not sure whether if it was because it’s “organica”, I did experience an unusual enjoyable flavour, which differs from all other grapes I had before.

I did a little research and found out that Bonarda grape is originally from Italy, nowadays it is mostly grown in Argentina’s soil. Due to its limited productivity Bonarda is often blended with other grapes.

Vina Cana Rioja Tinto Crianza 2006

Producer: Somerfield
Brand: Vina Cana Tinto Crianza
Vintage: 2006
Category: Red Wine
Country: Spain
Region: Rioja
Grapes: Tempranillo Blend
Rating: 7/10

It seems like I have been drinking a lot of Spanish wine recently. Here goes another one.

I actually quite like this bottle. It is medium bodied, very smooth but still has all the flavours you expect from a good bottle of Rioja red wine. Soft red berry aromas enriched by vanilla oak fragrance. Not too strong in taste, but you will definitely find its impressive mature character, which reflects its age.

I had it with cheese; however, I think it will go even better with red meats.

Contenda Merlot 2007

Producer: Contenda
Vintage: 2007
Category: Red Wine
Country: Spain
Region: Central Spain, Vinos de la Tierra
Grapes: Merlot
Rating: 6/10

This red wine is quite true to its Merlot grapes, with the mixture of black cherry and plum aromas. Its medium bodied palate is a delight with its softness, yet it leaves a smooth but mature finish on you tongue.

I personally prefer a stronger taste wine; still this Merlot red is quite a pleasant experience.

Laztana Rioja Tempranillo 2007

Producer: Laztana
Vintage: 2007
Category: Red Wine
Country: Spain
Region: Rioja
Grapes: Tempranillo
Rating: 5/10

I got this bottle, Laztana Rioja Tempranillo 2007, from Tesco for less than four pounds.

It has a deep red colour as well as a dark berry favour. The wine has quite a full bodied taste, but too dry and bitter for me. The acidic finish does not particularly turn me on either.

If you like the mixture of all these strong tastes in red wine, this could be the one for you. However, I probably will not buy it again.

Kumala Zenith Chenin blanc chardonnay 2008

Producer: Zenith Vineyards
Brand: Kumala
Vintage: No
Category: White Wine
Country: South Africa
Region: Cape
Grapes: Chenin Blend
Rating: 6/10

Kumala has been said to be the biggest-selling South African wine brand in the UK. It was also ranked the 15th most powerful wine brand in the world.

This white wine is not a bad choice for a relaxing lunch. Straight out from the fridge will be just right with white meat or fish. A very smooth fruity freshness almost instantly adds a lot of charm to its name.

The retail price is around £8. It does not do enough if you are looking for flavours, but a very good refreshment drink.

Sardelli Chianti 2007

Producer: Sardelli
Name: Chianti
Vintage: 2007
Category: Red Wines
Country: Italy
Grapes: NA
Rating: 7/10

Review:

This is an excellent Italian Chinati, smell fresh with strong berry aroma, and the colour is a deep red.

The taste is not spicy like most Chainti I tried, Although it's a young wine, the strong flavour with a bit of bitterness made it seem like an old vintage wine.

I don't usually chose Chinati or Italian wines, but this one is an exception, really worth trying it out, as it won't disappoint you.
