winemaker's notes:

Ruby red color. Red berry fruit flavors, lush mouthfeel, lovely balance, and a long finish. Great on its own or with barbeque!

Blend: 80% Grenache, 12% Syrah, 8% Mourvèdre

"Bonus Passus" is the former Latin name of the 12th century Chartreuse de Bonpas. Today it is the home of Louis Bernard, located at the gateway of Avignon at a bon passage (good crossing point) across the Durance River. Moving from the 12th to 21st century, "Bonus Passus" offers you a new approach to wine while doing something for the environment.

"Louis Bernard, a well-known négociant brand now owned by the vast Boisset Family Estates, packages this spicy, Grenache-based red in PET plastic bottles—one of the first wine companies to make use of this lightweight, recyclable packaging material."
-Food & Wine, "Great Values from the Rhone Valley"

Hari Seldon - Corvallis, OR (read all my reviews)
  Residual monomers from PET bottle are evident - 11/2/2009
I would not buy this wine again
As a food industry professional, I was interested in the PET packaging of this product. However, this wine is not a good endorsement of this type of packaging. There are obvious residual monomers from the bottle present in the wine (to the layman, this would be perceived as a background 'plasticky' taste), strong enough for me to make the wine undrinkable. Individual sensitivities do vary; my wife, also a trained sensory analyst, perceived the same issue but at a much lower level (she cheerfully finished the bottle).

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.
Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
Green wine
