Tarapacá Gran Reserva Syrah 2008
Valle del Maipo, Region del Valle Central, ChileThe second vintage of Syrah Gran Reserva comes off of two cool sites in a warm area at Isla de Maipo. Chief winemaker Ed Flaherty is a fan of not to cold and not to warm sites and this fits the bill. It is all small lots and barrel aged for 14 months in 29 percent new French oak and 11 percent new American oak. Look for a dark purple colour with a strong bay leaf (Boldo) nose with black cherry liquorice, candied cinnamon, vanilla flavours and a savoury toasted oak finish. A fun youthful red that will improve further in bottle.Tasted: 19 March 2013Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $20.00 | 750ml | speculative listing - Grady Wine Marketing |
