Tasting Notes
Inspiring wine, wonderfully intense, wonderfully scented and ripe, but wonderfully cool in style. You simply can't get flavours as lovely as this in hot conditions. Chile is rapidly developing new vineyard areas and has an expanding and impressive roll-call of grape varieties at which she excels. Syrah is one of them. This is like a top northern Rhone Syrah from a very good year. It smells of fresh blackberries and summer evening bonfire smoke and then it billows out with a sumptuous texture - blackberries and loganberries, syrupy soft, but roughened by wood smoke and the lightest smack of tannin.

"From Elqui Valley, Chile's new northern El Dorado which funnels cool air in from the Pacific, this is a cool climate, northern Rhône-like style, with smoky, tarry paprika–like aromas and a little more fruit opulence and rich blackberry fruit flavours than Crozes Hermitage, retaining nicely balanced supple tannins, bright freshness and spicy oak. 90/100". thewinegang.com, February 2009
