Obelisco Estate 2008 Syrah

Deep purple red, almost black color. Classic spicy sausage aromas dominant, followed by blackberry, dark cherry and dried blueberry fruit with hints of white pepper, cloves, licorice, dried herbs and vanilla. On the palate this wine enters sweet and full bodied and with spiced meat, ripe blackberry, dark cherry and vanilla toast. The mouthfeel is soft on the entry, lush in the mid-palate and finishes long with a dash of tartness to remind you it is Syarh and some tannins to remind you it is from Red Mountain.
