What a wonderful find and at a great price. I agree with all of the reviews thus far. Definitely worthy of keeping a few around for the outdoor meals which will hopefully arrive soon.
Another great value from Novas, so no surprise here. Chocolate and white pepper dominate the palate. Very nice, above average length and overall just a well balanced and delicous wine.
Tasted March 2015.
What an incredible value, this organic Syrah-Mourvèdre blend from Emiliana. It opens with a gorgeous nose of fresh wild strawberries bathed in black pepper spice, broadening with raspberry, cherry, and darker purple fruit, as well as vanilla, earthy-meaty notes, and a touch of herbal-woody bitterness. It's somewhat chalky on the palate, with a certain roughness taking over, but the fruit lingers nicely, as does the spiciness, and the creamy, comforting softness of Chilean Syrah really comes through. It could benefit from a bit of aging, but it's awfully inviting right now.
