A rich and jazzed-up syrah co-fermented with viognier. A pleasant floral, upbeat fruity buzz lifts the darker notes...
Another exaggerated wine in the El Enemigo range by Catena, from heavy oak influence to even heavier glass bottle....

Blend of 92% Syrah and 8% Viognier. Elegant, refined, and complex aromas of dark fruit, blackberry, black pepper spice, violet, and meaty with savoury undertones and floral touches rising out of the glass. It's medium+ bodied with lovely ripe blackberry, black pepper spice, meaty, violet, and floral notes on the flavour profile. Fine stony mineral notes arrive on the mid-palate, and it's all supported by fresh, balanced acidity and refined, nicely textured, and plush tannins. Savoury with stony minerals, cocoa, blackberry, and florals linger on the long finish. Tasted Oct/2021. Score: 90+ pts
