Tasting- Oveja Negra Syrah-Cab Rose Reserva


Name: Oveja Negra Syrah-Cab Rose Reserva
Variety: Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Maule Valley
Country: Chile
Year: 2010
Price: $6.95

Vintage Cellar Review: Oveja Negra Syrah-Cab Rose Reserva is bright cherry-red in color and has an attractive nose with aromas of raspberries and strawberries as well as plum and a bit of green apple. Crisp and juicy on the palate with a slight sweetness that accompanies the red fruit flavors. Pleasing natural acidity with medium-high intensity, nice persistence, and a fresh finish.

My Review: I was a huge fan of this wine with the strong black and raspberry flavors and nose. It was strong on the palate but not overwhelming with the tannins. This wine would pair nicely with a steak or hearty pasta dish.

I did not taste this wine with food.
