In the press

93/100 - A very ripe syrah with some baked blackberries, dried herbs and dark spices. Very full-bodied and loaded with silky tannins and juicy black and blue berries. A broad-shouldered red with lots of concentration. Drink or hold.
James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com
92/100 - The 2020 Lot 8 Syrah is a bit shy and doesn't have the aromas the variety can develop in cooler years. It's only 13.5% alcohol (a little higher in this warm year) and has a medium to full-bodied palate with abundant, slightly dusty tannins and a dry finish. Drink 2023-2028
Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate

Tasting note

Ruby-red with violet hues, great aromatic intensity, with the spicy notes like white pepper and olives, complemented by floral notes of violets and fruits, like cassis and blueberries. The notes of oak are very soft, contributing complexity, while respecting the fruit in this wine.

Viticulture

Nestled in Leyda's coastal valley, 4km from the Pacific, the exclusive 2,000-hectare Leyda Valley fosters expertise. The LOT collection showcases unique, elegant, complex wines, each from a small sub-division with limited production (max 5,000 bottles/vintage).

Vinification

Grapes hand-harvested on May 10th in Leyda Valley. Selected clusters, cold-maceration for colour, 10-day fermentation, 20% French oak, 80% untoasted foudres. Honoring Leyda's pure fruit and terroir.

Food Match

Ideal with braised beef or bbq spare ribs
