Alfasi Reserva KP 2010 14 % alcohol about $14.

There were no marketing materials so let’s start by quoting the back label (my sight translation from the French). “This Alfasi Malbec-Syrah is the fruit of combining carefully selected Malbec and Syrah grapes sourced in Chile’s most respected vineyards. From this oh so refined blend is born a well-structured wine characterized by rich notes of plums and grapes heightened by a soupcon of vanilla and coffee. This wine pairs marvelously with hearty meat and poultry dishes.“ And now for my review.

At the first sips this wine was dark and almost burnt with good length but its acidity was somewhat sour. A Wasabi pea shortened the wine. The initial meal was a boxed Ziti Siciliano that I doused with grated Parmesan cheese. This Chilean was flavorful and multilayered. Fresh strawberries rendered this liquid long and oaky.
