Note di degustazione
The 2006 Finca Sandoval is composed of 76% Syrah, 13% Mourvedre, and 11% Bobal. Purple in color, it exhibits a fragrant nose of mineral, underbrush, lavender, black cherry, and blueberry. This is followed by a dense, layered, full-bodied wine with copious spice and black fruit notes emerging on the palate. Well balanced and with enough structure to evolve for several years, it will drink well through 2021. Finca Sandoval is the estate of distinguished journalist, bon vivant, and NBA geek, Victor de la Serna. The wines are fermented with native yeasts with ML in barrel followed by 11 to 13 months in French and American oak. Importer: Jorge Ordonez, Fine Estates From Spain, Dedham, MA; tel. (781) 461-5767

76% Syrah, 13% Monastrell, 11% Bobal. Made by purple pager Victor de la Serna. Fragrant and smoky with fresh Syrah-derived pepper notes. Lots of dark fruit waiting to emerge and just a little floral in the way that Syrah can be. Very juicy and fresh and with a lightness of touch even though it is pretty rich and warming on the finish.

(76% syrah, 13% mourvedre and 11% bobal) Opaque purple. Brooding dark berry and kirsch aromas are complicated by cracked pepper and musky Indian spices. Pliant blackberry and cassis flavors are surprisingly energetic, with lively acidity adding spine and fine-grained tannins providing shape. The spicy note repeats on the very lively, sweet finish.
