Nieto Senetiner, Mendoza (Argentina) Bonardo 2012

($13, Foley Family Wines): Bonarda may, indeed, rival Malbec for Argentina’s top red grape.  This extraordinary value example shows why.  A hearty red with even a hint of tarriness, this Bonarda has polished tannins, making it a great choice for robust beef dish now.  Similar to Nieto Senetiner’s other wines, it’s not overdone.  This easy-to-recommend wine provides a lot of enjoyment for the price.
