This is a consistent syrah that shows a light peppery edge to the blackberries and black cherries. Lots of fruit here, with a subtle touch of graphite. Very fine-grained on the palate with powdery tannins that extend the lengthy finish. Still generous, but restrained. One of the best ever? Syrah co-fermented with 3% viognier and blended with 7% cabernet sauvignon. Drink now or hold. ~94 James Suckling
The grapes were sourced from two vineyards that grow on granite soils in the Colchagua Valley. This is an earthy and smooth Syrah, with meaty notes, black olive and dark fruit perfuming the nose. Plums and a hint of balsamic combine on the firm palate, enhancing its moderate complexity. ~ 90 Wine Enthusiast
