| Tasted by Kdawg on 7/15/2008 & rated 88 points: nose: nice earthy tones that start to unwind into notes of cherry, blackberries, cranberries, and smoke tones taste: good dark flavors of black cherry, blackberry, smoke, and unfortunetly some heat on the mid palate overall: Really good dark flavors that are well in balanced and have a bit of depth to them. Not overly complex but a really good wine nonetheless and has a nice black cherry attack that gives up a smoke and blackberry finish (683 views) | |
| Tasted by cobbpa on 7/15/2008 & rated 88 points: Champagne & Sushi (Coast Sushi, Chicago, IL): Earthy, bretty on the nose. It doesn't smell bad, but I feel like it covers up some fruit that may be underneath. Tasting brings about nice dark fruits and a rich, enjoyable texture. Finishes with a some fruit, interesting spice, and tannins that creep in and become more gripping with air. (674 views) | |
| Tasted by Seanr7 on 7/9/2008 & rated 90 points: This is the 4th bottle of the 5 I bought and they all have been a great wine. More reserved then most new world Syrah's yet still very new world. WS says "drink by 2008" but I think this will go for several more years before it starts to go downhill. Dark red/purple color, nose is a bit Earthy and fruity while in the mouth this wine has plenty of dark fruit (cherry, blackberry...) and spice. Medium mouth feel with a great finish that lasts for 30+ seconds. 30 minutes in a decanter does this wine well. 89 - 90 PTS. (660 views) | |
| Tasted by ocattorney on 7/7/2008 & rated 89 points: Nice deep color. Sour dark fruit on the nose with some spice. Medium bodied wine with blueberry and black berry fruit. Dry finish that lasts. Great QPR. (680 views) | |

| Tasted by Siegel75 on 6/21/2008 & rated 89 points: Very smooth with a nice spice aspect to the finish. Drank with a grilled london broil. (683 views) | |
| Tasted by Acohen on 6/2/2008 & rated 90 points: Plum and spice and a nice finish, very good qpr (877 views) | |
| Tasted by Seanr7 on 5/23/2008 & rated 90 points: This is a great bargin for less then $13 a bottle. Color is a deep dark Ruby red, on the nose a bit earthy, with plenty of dark fruit and a bit of spice. In the mouth this is not your over the top Aussi Syrah I have become used to but is a more old world reserved Syrah. Flavors of Plum, cherry, and blackberry along with a spicy finnish that lasts for 30+ seconds. With the amount of tannins this wine has I think this will drink well over the next 3-4 years.

| Tasted by CycleFreak on 4/9/2008 & rated 89 points: Rich, dark purple color. Builds the anticipation of smelling / tasting it. Like some other Chilean wines I've tried, it leans a bit more toward old-world style. However, this one has just a hint of that Frenchy-barnyard aroma. The rest is fruit, earth, mineral and pepper. The taste is great and completely belies the low price. It is more earthy, forest-floor than the Aussie shiraz, but it has a great quality flavor that is nearly gritty, bit of tobacco (I guess). The typical fruit flavors of Syrah (jammy blackberry, cassis and a little cherry) come through mid-palate and then the finish is pepper-spice and long / pleasant. This is a fantastic QPR wine and the only reason I did not give it 90+ is that it lacks some complexity. (861 views) |
