Natalie's Score: 89/100

Produced by Viña MontGras, this Chilean Syrah has fleshy black fruit and spices. Pair with BBQ ribs. The vines are planted at an altitude of 300 metres above sea level in volcanic soils and they face north on steep slopes. Great concentration and depth of flavour. Exotic black and sweet purple plums and dark spices on the finish of this Chilean red wine made from Syrah grapes. Amazing quality for the price. Full-bodied, rich. This full-bodied red wine pairs well with grilled meats.

Syrah food pairings: grilled pork chops, wild mushroom strudel, fajitas, marinated pepper steaks.

From Colchagua Valley, Chile, a supple and full-bodied Syrah. Dark purple/ruby red with dark berries, plums and spicy notes. A great wine for grilled or barbequed meats.
