Arboleda Syrah

The 2012 Arboleda Syrah is a deep purplish-red in color. The nose presents an array of aromatic layers recalling black and fruits such as blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Subtle notes of black olives, black pepper, and cloves lend complexity along with notes of tobacco, dark chocolate, and mocha from the oak aging. Smooth tannins on the palate pair with the well-balanced acidity to make this a very pleasing wine with a slightly sweet sensation and fruity, spicy flavors that lead to a lingering elegant finish.
