Mar 17th, 2018Chilean Syrah? You betcha. Darkly hued and easy drinking. Big but not heavy. More of the mineral, herb & mocha Syrah stylings as opposed to those with dark berries, cherries, and plums. Wonderful loooong lasting finish. Very nice for the $20 range.

Aug 9th, 2015Certainly deserving of the 9.0 rating that helped persuade me to purchase and try it, possibly the best Syrah I have ever tasted. Excellent combination of oak and fruit on the palate with a delightful addition of spicy tannin for texture. A more than ideal pairing with red meat.
