Wine of the Week | Finca Los Nevados Syrah 2004 [Red] In recent years Syrah (with the right genes & attention) has begun to show very well, esepecially in the hotter/drier parts of Spain. This one from the La Mancha province is an excellent example: a rich and concentrated red which will go well with roasts or game. Deep & dark cherry red color. An enjoyable nose with good intensity: ripe dark berry fruit (blueberry/blackberry) and toasted/peaty oak with a seductive floral scent (violet/lilac). On the palate it's full bodied with ample ripe berry fruit: full of flavor and "well endowed" on the alcohol side. Good length. Very good. [$M] |
A note to our readers:
I've used SRP, which is the normal price in Spain expressed in US dollars [Low=$5-9, Medium=$10-18, High=$19+]. The wines selected are usually moderately priced and generally exported around the world. Some exceptions happen...
