Another great value from Novas, so no surprise here. Chocolate and white pepper dominate the palate. Very nice, above average length and overall just a well balanced and delicous wine.
Tasted March 2015.
What a wonderful find and at a great price. I agree with all of the reviews thus far. Definitely worthy of keeping a few around for the outdoor meals which will hopefully arrive soon.
What an incredible value, this organic Syrah-Mourvèdre blend from Emiliana. It opens with a gorgeous nose of fresh wild strawberries bathed in black pepper spice, broadening with raspberry, cherry, and darker purple fruit, as well as vanilla, earthy-meaty notes, and a touch of herbal-woody bitterness. It's somewhat chalky on the palate, with a certain roughness taking over, but the fruit lingers nicely, as does the spiciness, and the creamy, comforting softness of Chilean Syrah really comes through. It could benefit from a bit of aging, but it's awfully inviting right now.
