Clos de Luz Syrah Azuda Rapel Valley 2018 - First Bottle

Reviews

92+ Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - Read

Cropped from a cooler year, the 2018 Azuda Syrah has less alcohol than the 2017 and more freshness. Volumes grew, and the wine fermented in a 10,000-liter stainless steel tank with indigenous yeasts and matured for 12 months in used 300-liter oak barrels and some 6% in new 500-liter oak barrels. This feels juicier, rounder and a little more closed than the 2017. It's nicely textured, with the granite mouthfeel quite clear, dry, serious and long. I like the mineral sensation and the tasty, almost salty finish. 10,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2019.

This is a very bright and forthright, yet elegantly red-fruited syrah with red-plum aromas and flavors, delivering in fresh, quite tart and juicy mode on the palate. Very young still, so give it some time to flesh out and settle. Try from 2024.

Mondays are made for rocking-good “case me” buys like this. $10 OFF the normal price! Clos de Luz is a historic Chilean winery, noted for their high-quality and “own rooted” vineyards planted in 1945, about 40 miles from the ocean and about 28 miles from the base of the Andes, in a beautiful small valley and part of the larger appellation Rapel Valley. We were very happy to score a small parcel direct direct from the winery at a particularly brilliant price. No middle men, just you and this stellar little find...a tremendous wine for under $20!

If you love textured, juicy, savory Syrah that is light on its feet with serious flavor concentration --- GET THIS. A HUGE no-brainer in our book at $19.95 (!) and simply delicious with tiers of currant, plum and savory fruits. SO GOOD!

$119.70 a 6-PACK w/ free ground shipping! While it lasts!
