Xumek, Syrah 2008, a good value if under 10 bucks



Xumek, Syrah 2008, By San Sylvia, USD 13.



The label and web info point to Valle de Zonda in San Juan Province.
A rather simple syrah with fresh dark fruity notes and a hint of spice like oregano and black peppercorn.Good middle palate with an edge of chocolate. A thin and simple red. To enjoy less than 4 years without loss.A 84 points red overpriced to my point of view. Very valuable if priced less than 10 bucks.
