Luca Wines
Laborde Double Select Uco Valley Syrah
Valle De Uco, Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina
Had another bottle, Wow! Laura Catena, 4th gen winemaker, grew up in Argentine-Italian winemaking family in Mendoza. Wines, named after her children - Luca, Dante & Nicola - background of the label is the McDermott coat of arms of her American husband, Daniel McDermott. Single-vineyard wine from land belonging to the Laborde family. Deep red with big ripe fruits & smoky oak. Palate plum & jammy blackberry, spice with nice earthy character. Tannins are a bit rustic, lingering ending with toasty oak & spice.

Wow!!! A pleasant surprise. Licorice, Black Cherry, Earthiness, and Leather. Smooth and Velvety. Certainly different from a Rhône Syrah, but excellent as well.
