Casa Rivas 2010 Gran Reserva Syrah (Maipo Valley)

Country: Chile / Gran Reserva
Variety: Syrah Maipo Valley
Winery: Casa Rivas /

A green, minty wave of challenging aromas comes with black olive, coconutty oak and graphite. The palate is bullish, scratchy in feel and tannic, with feral, herbal flavors of blackberry, juniper and wild herbs. Herbal and wild are the best words to describe this Syrah.
