Trapiche 2010 Iscay Syrah-Viognier (Mendoza)

Country: Argentina / Iscay
Variety: Syrah-Viognier Mendoza Province
Winery: Trapiche / Mendoza

Full berry aromas are fresh but come with a lot of oak and spice. In the mouth, this Syrah (with 3% Viognier) is chewy and a bit syrupy, with minty, spicy flavors derived from loud oak. On the finish, it dries out and turns warm-to-hot as it fades away. A joint-venture wine between Trapiche and Joey Tensley of California.
