Dehesa del Carrizal Syrah 2018

Tasting: Did someone say Northern Rhône? As they do here in Australia, there are certain French varieties that make excellent wine in Spain too, Syrah being one of them. D.O. Pago is a single site appellation, awarded to estates of exceptional, consistent excellence. D.O. Pago Dehesa del Carrizal is south of Madrid in the foothills of the Sierra de Toledo. A classic expression of Syrah, full bodied, plums, damsons, cassis and blackberries all wrap around a core of toasted oak and extremely well-balanced tannins. In 8 years of importing this wine, we think this is the best vintage yet!
