Crios Syrah-Bonarda by Susana Balbo Dominio de Plata 2008
Salta, North, ArgentinaThis wine impressed me in Argentina and now in Vancouver it looks even better. The unusual 50/50 blend of syrah and bonarda, aged for nine months in French and American oak, results in rich red of blueberry, plum, and black raspberry flavours. Soft supple juicy fun and uncomplicated. Grilled lamb chops are a great match.Tasted: 21 November 2009Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:AB | $20.00 | 750ml | fine wine shops |
