  Vina Falernia Syrah Reserva Elqui Valley Chile 2006

  Snoothrank: Starting at $8^.99

  This Syrah is dense, spicy and smokey, with plum, pepper and herbal notes to boot. Nice medium long finish. Great value at around $10.

Agreeable meeting with the vineyard Tabalí, which sublimated the simplicity of a "cazuela de ave" (casserole of chicken), chewing the dogma of the waves of Viña del Mar's sea in Chile    (hide)

In the mouth the tannins here are super-fine giving the wine a lovely density. The flavors are sharp with notes of wild raspberry, wild cherry and tobacco. This retains an elegant feel with lovely purity and finishes with herb and peppery spice tones on the moderately long finish. 91pts    (hide)

Lovely freshness in the mouth, full of bright acids supporting fresh, ripe orchard fruits with a touch of melon. This is very well balanced with a surprisingly elegant mid-palate full of peach and lemon curd flavors that leads to a lovely finish with a surprising return of minerality. 91pts    (hide)

How exciting with the Limari wines Gregory, I've heard lots about them but haven't tasted any of them - yet. Had a really nice wine from Cachapoal at this evenings family dinner: Lagar de Bezana Aluvión Gran Reserva 2006, D.O Cachapoal, a blend of Carmenere Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Syrah. Peppery and aromatic, with hints of chocolate and figs, and very, very dark in colour. Delish!    (hide)
