CASAS DEL BOSQUE - Syrah Gran Reserva
Sourced from a high vineyard sight with close proximity to the Pacific
Ocean overlooking the Casablanca Valley, the 2015 Casas del Bosque Gran
Reserva Syrah is a beautiful expression of a cool climate Syrah. The
nose offers notes of light white pepper, some olive brininess and a
meaty spice tone over blackberry fruit. Medium fuller bodied and sleekly
textured, this shows good energy and vibrancy in the mouth to the black
berry fruit flavors, while the tannins are fine tuned leading to a dry
finish with some of the savory, meaty tones coming through on the
backend. Just now starting to open up, if you drink now, decant or let
breathe before consuming. Otherwise give this another year and enjoy
over the next couple of years after that
