From our La Finca estate, in the Apalta Valley, the 1999 vintage was our first Syrah. This is the scarcest of our Alpha wines. Yields are very low at only 6 tonnes per hectare. The wine is aged in French oak barrels for one year and has only one soft filtering. In the manner of Rhone producers, Aurelio adds a small percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon, also originating from Apalta, and some Viognier, to the final mixture. Of intense ruby red color, it has a great aroma with floral, tobacco and leather notes. Strong and full-bodied on the palate, with soft and mature tannins. A very long, elegant and satisfying aftertaste. A superb Syrah.

Spice, dried meat and dark berries on the nose and palate. Full bodied, yet so fresh and focused. The tannins carve a lovely frame. Spicy finish with underlying cloves and nutmeg. Drink or hold.

A full and gritty nose showcases aromas of eucalyptus, green herbs and black fruits. A full but agile palate features bright acidity and grabby tannins, while toasty oak tops herbal blackberry and plum flavors. A concentrated finish is dry and weighty but not heavy. Drink through 2025.

There's plenty of creaminess to the ripe dark cherry and plum flavors in this red, with some bacony accents. The refined finish is fine-grained and open-textured, with a linger toastiness. Drink now through 2024. 22,000 cases made.
