Tasting Notes

 

“Syrah does surprisingly well in Chile’s newly developed cooler regions with characteristics of France’s northern Rhone Valley. The 2010 Syrah Reserva offers up aromas of game, bacon, lavender, and blueberry. Dense, layered, ripe, and flavorful, this excellent value could easily be mistaken for a quality Crozes-Hermitage. Drink it over the next 4-5 years.”
