The 2009 Syrah Pequenes Producciones was aged in 70% new French oak for 14 months. Expressive aromas of lilacs, wood smoke, game, pepper, and blueberry lead to a plush, layered, pleasure-bent wine with impeccable balance and length. Give it 2-3 years of cellaring to fill out and drink it from 2014 to 2021. Vina Casas del Boque’s estate encompasses over 500 acres with production of over 70,000 cases annually. By Chilean standards, it qualifies as a boutique winery.Importer: Vinocopia, Richfield, MN; tel. (612) 455-4000
