NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Santa Rita 120 Reserva Especial Syrah is a dark, richly fruity red wine with aromas of dark fruit, smoke, and game.The palate is medium-bodied, with velvety tannins balanced by refreshing acidity. The finish is short but clean and dry. This is an excellent expression of Syrah and a great choice for when burgers are on the grill. Drink within 4 years.
