Kingston Family Vineyards, Valle de Casablanca DO (Chile) Syrah 2018

 Intensely savory and meaty, the 2018 “Bayo Oscuro” is the Kingston Family Vineyard’s top Syrah bottling. The sanguine nose exudes a brooding, almost somber profile, with dark fruit, crushed peppercorns, black olives, leather, iron, soy sauce, dried herbs, and smoke.  Chewy tannins frame the medium-bodied earthy palate, which finishes with loads of salinity, black olive, and wet stone minerality.
