Old Quarter 2019 Syrah Mendoza, Argentina

Description

With hot days and cool nights, Mendoza, Argentina is an ideal growing location for a grape like Syrah. However, you rarely see the varietal as a stand-alone wine from the region which makes this beautiful bottle incredibly special. Hailing from a location surrounded by Malbec, the sandy soils and little rain in the area force vines to work harder during the growing season, allowing fruit to develop intense flavors and pull characteristics from the region’s terroir. This wine is rich and soft. Dark fruit flavors take over the palate and perfumey florals jump out of the glass. It is deep in color and has approachable tannins that round out each sip. Perfect to pair with bold dishes off the grill.
