Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A single-vineyard heavyweight with sweet aromas of oak, caramel and berry syrup. The palate is stewy and dark, with blackberry and pepper notes. The feel across the tongue is stand-up, with chocolate and coffee notes coming on late.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Only a mild vegetal hint to the nose holds this back. Otherwise, it’s round and chunky, and quite well balanced. The red fruit on the palate is vivid, and the vanilla-tinged oak seems to grace that fruit. The texture throughout is good, as is the color.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This is about as good as it gets with Bonarda, a thinner, juicier red with lots of acidity and true red-fruit flavors. Plum, cherry and a touch of oak define the palate, while the finish is dry and expansive. A bit grapy and grabbing, but still a good example of this mostly lost Italian variety.

Mayol Bonarda - 2002

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Dense and dark, with a color akin to purple ink. Catchy, well-made, the fruit is ripe and abnormally friendly, while the structure is solid. What makes this an above-average wine in its class is that the acidity is mellow, not shrill as is often the case.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Basic and juicy, with olive on the nose along with black fruit. Ripe and tannic, with berry and plum flavors and a robust, somewhat tannic mouthfeel. Pushes cherry and blackberry late; good but standard. Imported by Southern Wine Group.

Mayol Cabernet Sauvignon - 2003

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Rubbery and firm on the nose, yet soft in the mouth. The flavors are of pure red fruit, mostly raspberry and currants. Mild on the finish, clean and easy, with a touch of buttery oak. Not that deep but decent. Imported by Southern Wine Group.
