Very interesting wine. It’s a Chilean Syrah from Colchagua Valley, which is notoriously known for its Carmenere. Medium bodied. Initial taste of dark cherries and plums. This is short lived though, transitioning to a predominant earthy and smokiness, followed by tobacco spice. The earthiness isn’t over powering but is present, the spice develops well although isn’t as complex like some B.C. varietal Syrahs. It’s a very smooth, enjoyable, and unique wine! Paired it with blue cheese, white wine cherry tomato chicken and salad.
