BonAnno, meaning "good year" in Italian, reflects the winery's commitment to producing fruit-forward, juicy, and well-balanced wines that offer tremendous value. Since its first release in 2004, BonAnno has consistently delivered wines that are varietally correct and over-deliver for their price point.

 

TASTING NOTES: This wine opens with a deep ruby hue and an inviting nose of spice and sage, followed by layers of blueberries, blackberries, and fresh raspberry. On the palate, it is smooth and full-bodied, showcasing dark fruit, currants, and hints of mineral and anise. The wine's balanced acidity and well-integrated tannins lead to a juicy, supple finish. 

 

FOOD PAIRINGS: BonAnno Cabernet Sauvignon 2018, with its bold tannins and layered dark fruit character, pairs exceptionally well with richly flavored dishes. Grilled ribeye steaks or herb-crusted lamb chops bring out the wine’s savory depth, while braised short ribs and roast duck with cherry compote echo its plush, fruity notes. For a vegetarian pairing, earthy mushroom risotto or hearty eggplant Parmesan complement the wine's structure and acidity.
