Las Moras

A spicy nose of cured meat, asphalt and fresh blackberries. Full-bodied on the palate, with powerful, silty tannins and a long, juicy finish of crushed black and blue fruit, peppercorns and mussel shells. Already attractive, but better in two more years.

This syrah comes from the three areas in San Juan where Las Moras has vineyards: the Pedernal Valley, the highest at 1,350 meters, the Zonda Valley, at 780 meters, and the Tulum Valley, at 650 meters. Aging lasted 15 months in barrels, which is evident in the toasted aromas and flavors that seem to rule here. Behind them, however, you can smell the ripe black fruits that are typical of San Juan syrah. A voluptuous wine for hearty dishes.
