Borsao Zarihs Syrah 2018 (750ml) California Monterey Pinot NoirWinemaker Notes The color is opaque red black. Crimson purple rim. Powerful impression of blackberries, with a hint of wood smoke and sweet vanilla. The nose begins to open up and develops notes of dark chocolate. The initial impact is very full bodied, with a plush, soft structure. Flavors of dark berries dominate; wild blackberries and dried plums, with notes of espresso coffee. Pair with rice based dishes like paella, beef, pork, pasta, grilled

dried herb and coffee bean notes

and fabrics like silk

and one-third concrete eggs

A shared state of mind and a particular sensitivity are the key factors which have propelled Château Pontet-Canet to the summit of Bordeaux wines in recent years

and Molinara from Tenuta Valleselle

Vignon says it will spend three to five years in vat

This is a deliciously versatile wine

It came to me in a dream last night

Very long and vivid

gaining in structure and complexity

The year of heat and drought
