ABRAZO del toro Tinto Joven Syrah; 2006




        • Fruity; blackberry, cherry, slight raisin finish
        • Bright
        • Smooth
        • Slightly Firm Acidity
This was our first bottle of the Abrazo del toro Syrah. At first glance, it's full black profile promised a boldly fruit forward wine. Yet, it is a very smooth drinking wine with nice subtle hints of fruitiness. We thought it had a bright profile that would cleanse the palate well for a spicy dish, especially those with a thick sauce. In this case, it worked well with pizza with goat cheese allowing a better taste of the overall pizza. Would be a great complement when tasting multiple smoky cheeses as it would help set the stage for milder flavors.

3/5 - $4.99
