continued fresh red fruits dominate the long, complex finish.
Handpicked Syrah 2012 ($35). This is a blend of 86 percent syrah and 14 percent cabernet sauvignon. The fruit came from Quinta de Maipo, Maipo Valley. The wine spent 30 months aging in French oak. Blackberry and wisps of herbes de Provence are evident on the welcoming nose. Black fruits are strewn throughout the juicy, layered palate. Smoked bacon, black raspberry, and bits of chocolate sauce are evident on the long, lusty finish.
