Note di degustazione
The 2013 Patriota is a blend of 60% Malbec and the rest Bonarda matured in 70% French and 30% American oak barrels for one year. It has a mixture of flowers and oak-related aromas that interfere a little. The light to medium-bodied palate is a little hollow in the mid-palate and shaped by grainy tannins. Around 200,000 bottles produced.

(a 60/40 blend of Malbec and Bonarda): Bright medium ruby. Aromas of blackberry, black cherry, licorice pastille, cocoa powder and dark chocolate. Plush, supple and sweet, with broad blackberry and spicy oak flavors nicely framed by well-integrated acidity. The Bonarda component serves to fill out the wine's mid-palate, giving it a silky smoothness. Not at all overly sweet on the back end, which shows solid tannic support. A fairly large-scaled, generous blend to drink now or hold, and an outstanding value.
