Rather than those typical succulent black-fruit and olive aromas and flavors that tend to pervade Chile's coastal syrahs, this one seems to be more subdued. It has some of that, but it also offers fresher red fruit in a body with piercing acidity and tannins. This wine comes from the Zapallar zone, planted on granitic-clay soils in the Coastal Mountains, about 13 kilometers from the Pacific. This wine was aged in barrels and concrete eggs for five months, with the aim of maintaining its fruit.
