The 2007 Syrah Reserva reveals a brooding bouquet of mineral, game, plum, and blueberry. Dense and full-flavored, it will evolve for 2-3 years and drink well through 2019. A bit more complexity would have resulted in an outstanding score. All four Terra Noble offerings are outstanding values.Importer: Winebow, Inc., Montvale, NJ; www.winebow.com

Now that TerraNoble is getting its Syrah from warm Colchagua, the end product is dark, roasted and statuesque. There’s a lot of beef and structure to this affordable Syrah, and the flavors of plum, blackened toast and tea are manly to say the least. Finishes with a lot of roasted oomph, including spice, espresso and mint chip flavors.——M.S.(7/1/2009)—— 89
