Benegas 2008 Libertad Vineyards Syrah (Mendoza)

Country: Argentina / Libertad Vineyards
Variety: Syrah Mendoza Province
Winery: Benegas / Mendoza

Like many of this winery’s bottlings, this is heavy and raisiny. However, amid all the thickness and extract there are lusty, robust roasted black fruit flavors and candied darkness. Baked on the finish, which feels hollow and doesn’t last long.
