What reviewers say
“Reliable Bonarda of Alamos. A bit young but it seems to be on the way to well rounded up 4⭐. I love this grape so much. Durk ruby colour with garnet hues. Quite abudant fruity bouquet.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Alamos Bonarda has a deep blackish, purple color. The nose is full of ripe red fruits with a touch of licorice, spice and violets. The mouthfeel is sweet and juicy with raspberry and strawberry fruit flavors with spicy black pepper notes and a touch of anis. The finish is soft and sweet, with round, velvety tannins.
From Mendoza in Argentina, Alamos Bonarda is a red. At $9.45 for the lowest 750 ml listing, it belongs to the under $15 band.
The calibrated figure is built from 2,074 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 2,141 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead. Its in-cohort standing is measured against 481 other reds from Argentina, not against the corpus as a whole.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Alamos Bonarda lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · Argentina (482 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 2,074.
