What to Expect

Syrah: One of the few grapes to really be a global success. Syrah combines a meaty core of ripe berry fruit with tones that range from herbal to peppery in a package that tends to be medium bodied with good acidity and softer tannins. With age the wines can gain lovely leathery and black olive notes that make them a great match for savory and gamy dishes.

Winemakers Notes

TASTING NOTES:�
Violet-ruby colored. The mineral-driven Las Colinas bottling displays notes of charcuterie, stones, blueberry, white pepper and brown spices on its cool, focused nose. While the midpalate, which is driven by dark concentrated fruit, leaves a creamy, forgiving impression, structure returns on the finish, along with a flourish of white pepper, violet essence, mineral and coffee. A very focused, precise wine ideal for food pairing. Enjoy peak drinking through 2014.�

ROBERT PARKER 94 POINTS:�
The 2006 Syrah Las Colinas seems even bigger and read more...richer than the 2005, with an opaque purple color, full body, and notes of road tar, black truffle, camphor and blackberry. It behaves like a Hermitage. This wine is stunning and should drink nicely for 7-8 years.    (hide)
