Bonarda Armando
2013
When Laura Catena decided to create a line of wines of her very own, she made a conscious decision to pay tribute to the traditional, small, family, growers and to a group of special vineyard sites in Mendoza, Argentina. The name La Posta refers to La Posta del Viñotero – ‘the Tavern of the Grape Grower’, found in every local village where farmers go to get their mail after a hard day in the vineyards. There, they meet to drink wine, laugh, and tell stories, agreeing to agree or disagree...

Intense ruby colour with bright aromas of fresh red & black raspberries and subtle smoky oak notes. The flavour of freshly - crushed raspberries is echoed on the palate, along with notes of leather, dark chocolate, and a touch sandlewood on the finish. Though quite rich and hedonistic, the seamless structure of its wine makes it a candidate for drinking in its youth or over the next few years (if you can with that long.) It will pair well with just about any foods with which you would drink Zinfandel or other fruit-driven reds.
Brilliant red. Spice-accented raspberry and cherry accents along with hints of woodsmoke cola and Asian spices. Silky and energetic on the palate offering appealingly sweet red berry and floral pastille flavors that deepen slowly as the wine opens up. Fine-grained tannins lend shape to an impressively long mineral- and spice-laced finish that shows excellent clarity and repeating florality.

A graceful, supple expression of Pinot Noir, with fleshy tannins and a core of juicy plum and berry flavors shaded by cedar, anise and spice notes, ending clean and pure. Drink now through 2024.
