Synthesis, The Blend 2008, beautiful but overpriced at 60 bucks level


Synthesis, The Blend 2008, By Bodega Sophenia, USD 60

A Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blend from Tupungato Valley (in Uco valley).
A wide and complex red where ripe malbec seems to dominate. Nice mix of cherries and currants with
fine oak elements like vanilla and chocolate. Probably best by 4 to 6 years old. I feel it expensive and overpriced. But this is a personal bias. Twenty to 40 bucks is a more competitive level of price. A 93 point red.
