Luis Felipe Edwards, Marea Syrah, Aconcagua Valley, Chile 2019

Made in cool-climate Leyda Valley, by ex-Robert Mondavi winemaker Nicolas Bizzarri, this stood out for value, and would make a great party option. The grapes are hand picked, and fermented in open-top tanks, before being aged in barrel on lees. It's dark ruby in colour, with fleshy black plum and blackberry fruit, and notes of spicy, smoky, chocolatey oak. Warm, bold and full-bodied, this offers massive enjoyment at the price.
