Acclaim
“The 2008 Syrah is a big, expressive wine loaded with varietal character. Iron, minerals, bacon fat and blackberries are just some of the nuances that blossom in this striking wine. All of the aromas and flavors build towards the exciting, viscerally thrilling finish. I have said it before, and I will say it again. The Syrah is the most distinctive wine at Tua Rita. This is a great, great bottle.”
— Wine Advocate, Aug 2011
This is really delicious, with meat, berry and game aromas and flavors. Full and decadent - just how I like my Syrah. One of the best Syrahs in Tuscany.
