Tacana is the Bonner’s very first wine, from the Bonner family ranch, the wine which originally gave rise to the Partnership. Pucarilla vineyard, discovered by Bill and his sons, is home to rows of old-growth malbec still on their original rootstock, completely unaffected by phylloxera. Pucarilla sits at more than 8,400 feet of elevation, a tiny green valley high in the dry & rocky mountains. Snowmelt and careful management of rainwater keep the vines producing.
Rich cocoa, dark purple fruits, soft tannins. Fresh, free of cloying oak flavor, yet plush in mouthfeel. An intense, layered experience.
