Voted one of the best Syrah's worldwide, the Zarihs label from Aussie winemaker Chris Ringland and Spanish winemaker Jose Chueca is turning heads for under $20! Showcasing the best of Campo de Borja, the combination of the modern Shiraz-like elements from Ringland is the perfect marriage to the more traditional styling of Chueca. The Syrah was planted 16 years ago in the foothills of the Moncayo to take advantage of the soil, sun and the uniqueness of the Cierzo, which freshens the grapes from bloom to peak maturity. The vines are 600-700 meters above sea level, in limestone soil, giving the Syrah an almost northern Rhone like acidity to accompany the huge aromatics of dark fruits, wild blackberries and plums. 40% of the wine is aged in new American oak barrels for 12 months, which showcases the abundant vanilla and spice notes.
"Saturated violet. Dark berries, candied licorice, vanilla and a spicy black pepper accent on the oak-spiced nose. Supple and appealingly sweet, offering ripe blackberry and cherry liqueur flavors complicated by suggestions of vanilla and floral pastilles. Broad, fleshy and appealingly jammy, finishing very long and smooth, with a repeating vanilla note and slow-building tannins." Vinous Media, 91 Points
