HPS Top 20

08. 2008 Notro Sangiovese/Bonarda $6 - $8

Named after the native flower of the same name that is often found growing in Andean mountain meadows in the southern spring, Notro is the first HPS-owned brand from Argentina. It has been extremely well-received in the marketplace, and has quietly taken off as one of the fastest-growing brands in HPS history.

85 pts, "...smooth-textured wine with savory flavors, lively acidity, and good length." - The Wine Advocate, Values Report, 8/09.
