Distinctively blackish-red, nothing purple here. Bone dry. Plum, grilled beef, worn leather, dried earth, and black pepper. Some heat, but overall manages the 15% abv quite well. Suggestive of old world style Southern Rhone.

It’s okay. But a nice floral aroma

I would suggest decanting this wine for about an hour before serving. Tastes of leathery tannins and black fruit with a hint of black pepper marry well with hearty steaks and pastas.

While not my favorite Paso Robles Syrah blend (thank you Mr. James Berry), this brilliant Chilean winemaker created a solidly balanced red. The initial fruit is explosive, but the structure does not disappoint. Be careful, this is not your 14% alcohol variety ... The 2nd glass can pack a punch. Wine Spectator has the 2007 rated 90+. A good price is under $40. Cheers!
