title: Pascual Toso 2006 Maipu Vineyards Syrah (Mendoza)
description: Initial aromas of clove and cinnamon suggest a lot of barrel action, but give it a few minutes and the wine settles on ripe black fruit, dark spice notes and richness. It's big-boned but not overly tannic, and it exhibits Shiraz's bacon and espresso character in a good way.
variety: Syrah
designation: Maipu Vineyards
