The 2022 Bona Fide has a pure, expressive nose of sappy blackberry, red plum, and wild raspberry. There is an immediacy to the fruit, thanks to the prominence of Malbec in the blend, which is heightened by the perfumed aromatics of Carmenere and Syrah. Combined, they contribute pink peppercorn, anise, and lavender, which seamlessly frame the fruit. The palate is juicy and vibrant, reflective of the moderate 2022 growing season, leading to a long, textured finish. Meticulously balanced, with fine, elegant tannins shaped from aging in concrete, this is drinking beautifully upon release, but will continue to improve with careful cellaring until 2028.
