Descripción

Una de las grandes referencias de la Syrah norteamericana. Procedente del prestigioso viñedo Armada, en la denominación Walla Walla Valley, expresa con precisión el singular carácter mineral de los suelos pedregosos de The Rocks District. Un tinto profundo y complejo, donde las notas de fruta negra madura, flores, especias y recuerdos ahumados se combinan con una extraordinaria frescura y elegancia. Potente, estructurado y de larguísimo recorrido, es un vino elaborado en producción limitada y con un notable potencial de guarda.

Opinión de los críticos

The Wine Advocate:

Displaying a lighter color with a medium ruby hue, the 2021 Syrah Armada Vineyard has a spicy, complex, broad and structured nose, with fresh aromas of black cherries, blackberry skin, violets and rose blossoms. The palate, firm and food friendly, features a distinctive tannic edge that's meant for red meats. Unmistakably Syrah from Walla Walla Valley, this is a gorgeous beauty, and I'm going back to finish the glass. The wine spent 21 months aging in a combination of new and used French oak. 7,632 bottles were produced.

James Suckling:

Very structured and firmly tannic, this muscular wine comes from tightly spaced vines that give a low yield and lots of concentration. Floral and spicy aromas lead to rich, dark cocoa, blackberry and baked blueberry flavors restrained by the sandy, full tannins. From biodynamically grown grapes. Best from 2029.
