Wine description | Deep violet color with ruby reflections. The nose is expressive and spicy. Fresh red fruits such as plums and blueberries, spices and peppers, and smoky tones are appreciated from the barrel aging. On the palate it is a juicy red with a flavor of spices and herbs such as thyme. Its attack is dry, fresh and juicy. It flows broad with very good texture and excellent balance. Marked tannins that ensure a pleasant and long finish. Fruity aftertaste that will be enjoyed by palates that like intense and expressive wines. |
Syrah has shown to be successful growing in vineyards all over Argentina, from the high, cool altitudes, to warmer, sunny regions. Once used mainly as a blending partner for other grapes, Argentinian Syrah is becoming a wine to watch in its own right.
If you want lots of dark fruit, peppery and savory flavors, and firm tannins, look to cooler regions in the foothills of the Andes like Uco Valley...
