Trapiche Iscay Syrah/Viognier 2019

This has a perfumed nose of blackberries, black cherries, cloves, black and white pepper, oregano, olives and orange zest. Peaches, too. It’s full-bodied with very fine, polished and velvety tannins, melting into sleek layers of black fruit and peppery spice. Caressing and youthful. So soft and silky. Co-fermented 97% syrah and 3% viognier. Try after 2023. Score – 97. (jamessuckling.com, Aug. 9, 2022)
