El Enemigo Syrah - Viognier 2018 (750ml) Lambrusco Grasparossa di CastelvetroWinemaker's Notes We call this harvest el Ao Mendocino, the Mendoza year. After a small, cool vintage in 2017, which we refer to as El Ao Bordels (the Bordeaux Year) and a small, very cool and rainy 2016: el Ao Bourguignon (the Burgundian year), we finally got a vintage that is classically Mendozan: dry, cool, sunny and with moderate yields in every region from the lowest to the highest altitudes.

A nice minerality rounds out the wine and there is a persistent finish

With very fine tannins

open and full of red fruits that are lifted by spice

suggestive of cherries and blackcurrant with long and well defined tannins on the finish

along with coating tannins

The nose reflects tropical fruits and white flowers

this wine is rich and polished with plenty of ripeness and alcohol
