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.

Altos del Plata, Syrah 2010, not even close to its malbec brother
Altos del Plata, Syrah 2010, By Terrazas de los Andes, USD 10
A syrah from central Mendoza with a basic varietal structure. Black cherries and a noteworthy herbality slightly layedred with a black/green peppercorn note. Nice but basic and too herbal. An 85 point red not even close to its malbec brother. May be drinable 2-3 years from harvest. I wound´t say a good value. Acceptable if less than 7-8 bucks.
