Tasting notes of a local wine lover without elegant literacy or web design. Just plain wine talk. By the same token I analyze the opened bottle with my senses, just at the very end I re-check the producer (I first checked it when bought it for sure!),vintage,terroir,and price. These data allow me to reconstruct the wine and trace a botton line.

Carinae Reserve Syrah 2008, a great ´Cruz de Piedra´ proudly made in Maipu
Carinae, Reserve Syrah 2008, By Carinae S.A., USD 16
A syrah from Cruz de Piedra District of Maipu Departament, Central Mendoza
A beautiful syrah with solid and well articulated tannins. Neat expressions of fruits, mostly black berries and black currrants
over a nice chocolaty complement. There is a herbal note quite interesting and a green peppercorn scent to make it more complex.
A 90 point syrah nice and beauty now but enough room for improving a couple of points next upcoming 2 to 4 years.
Great value.
