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.
