Deep and darkly pigmented black cherry hue right to the rim of the glass.
Bouquet is full of rich black berry, plum and cocoa with vanilla note.
Palate--Rich mocha, with intense depth, full bodied with loads of "stuff" waiting to be released in the treaure trove of complexity; white chocolate emerges a little later.
This is a young, immature plush wine of immensity that finishes with lasting espresso and blackberry jam.
Again served to me blind, it reminded me of a young (2006) "Don Melchor" from Concha Y Toro but my first impression was a gargantuan, superior Syrah. Made by the famous "Lewis" winery it is 70% Syrah with 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Merlot.
If you want a Lewis wine--you'll pay for it! this one runs in the $50 range but it was (NW's) pocket so raise a glass and say "Yeah baybay!"
