Garnet black color. Aromas and flavors of green herbs almost garrique, leather and pepper, olive tapenade, and tarragon with a velvety, lively, dry medium body and a tingling, interesting, breezy finish with notes of red and black fruit, black cherry, pepper and leather, and olive and herbs with a suggestion of oak flavor. Shows the delicious potential of Chilean producers to make a Rhone styled Syrah; savory and spicy with a nice fruit backbone.
