Wine Review
Archive: Chile: Shiraz/Syrah
($9).
Appealing for its lush black currant and
berry flavors that are accented with mint
and black pepper. Smooth finish. Ready to
drink now. (Robyn's Picks 07/07)
($19). Unexpectedly elegant,
with focused cassis and currant fruit that
picks up pretty spices and toasty oak on
the plush finish. Ready to drink now. (Robyn's
Picks 07/07)
($8).Pleasant, moderate fruit and spice.
Nothing exceptional, but drinkable. Ready
to drink now. (Weekend Wine , 10/03)
($13). Rich vanilla-laced
black cherry and blackberry fruit, with
white pepper and toasty oak. Easy to drink
now! (Weekend Wine , 10/03)
($45). Bold and
concentrated, with black currant and dark
chocolate aromas and flavors layered with
pretty spices and toasty vanilla. Lots
of oak going on here, but the fruit is
so intense that it all seems to balance
out. Long, tightly wound finish. Ready
to drink now and over the next four or
five years. (Drinks with Les Dames 02/08)
($11). Easy drinking
wine here, with ripe red berry and cherry
flavors accented with toasty oak and a
slight kick of spice. Ready to drink now.
