Colonia Las Liebres Bonarda is a new release made from the little-known Bonarda grape. Considering the wine's price, the 92-point rating it received from Wine & Spirits for its inaugural 2003 vintage is astounding: "From 30-year-old vines in Mendoza, this is a massive red with a roasted black fruit aroma, firm, tense tannins and vibrant acidity. A hedonistic pleasure, and a steal for the price." Ink red-black, almost opaque, with a nose of blackberries, cassis and spice. Full-bodied with firm tannins, it offers rich flavors of blackberry, black currant, chocolate and spice.
