Botalcura 2006 El Delirio Reserve Syrah-Malbec Red (Central Valley)

Country: Chile / Central Valley
Variety: Red Blend
Winery: Botalcura / El Delirio Reserve Syrah-Malbec

A little tart and pickled off the bat, with notes of rhubarb and red cherry along with a stronger, more evident blast of oak. The palate is fresh but sort of lean and wanting, with regular raspberry and plum flavors. Snappy but slightly sappy and resiny for what’s on offer.
