Wine Review
Bonterra Cabernet Sauvignon (V) 2006 12.8% alcohol about $ 18
Let's start by quoting the marketing materials. Description: This Cabernet uses only biological culture. The reward of extra effort with pure water and bright flavors and flavors of cassis, cherries, roasted herbs, licorice and ripe blackberry, all wrapped in silky tannins with a medium to long term finish. Enjoy with rosemary and thyme-rubbed pork chops veal, or a rich meat lasagna, zucchini and eggplant. Our laboratory Quality Assurance has determined that this wine contains 15 mg / L of free sulfur. And now, for my opinion.
With the first sip of wine was mouth filling and long enough. The original meal was ribs slowly cooked slices of beef with potato soil and a side of grilled eggplant skin with lots of olive oil and garlic. The wine was a little Plummy snuff and soft tannins. Its length was fine. The eggplant casserole enhance the flavor of snuff. When you add a spicy green jalapeño wine came to answer.
The second meal including onion and zucchini stuffed with rice and ground beef, cooked with potatoes and spices like pepper, garlic powder and cumin. The Cabernet Sauvignon is round with black cherry and oak, which has aged in a mixture of French and American Oak. He was filling his mouth and have tried the snuff in the background.
The last dinner centered around store-bought roast chicken wings in a spicy sweet and sour chicken thighs with the skin has been sprinkled with paprika. Sides include rice and green beans in homemade tomato sauce. Once again, the wine was round, now There are more than a touch of snuff in the background. It was a very good game.
I tried this wine with two cheeses, goat milk cheese and a Swiss Emmental. The taxi fruity and long term when accompanied by a cheese of goat's milk. With the Swiss I noticed black cherry, and snuff, with good length.
The final verdict. This wine is quite good. But if you do not need I do not think organic justifies its price. Occasionally I had $ 10 wines that are almost as good.

He teaches classes in computers at an Ontario French-language community college. Among his many web sites he is particularly proud of his Italian travel site with a special focus on regional food and wine at http://www.travelitalytravel.com.
