The largest scaled wine in the lineup, the 2008 Qupé Syrah Bien Nacido Hillside Estate is a ripe, fleshy effort that packs a solid dose of fruit in its structured, edgy frame. Smoky, meaty, and dense, with a lavender, plum and currant driven core, this beauty flows onto the palate with medium to full-bodied texture, solid concentration, good acidity, and ripe tannin. It needs another 2-3 years to come together, and will have over a decade of prime drinking after that. - Jeb Dunnuck

Glass-staining ruby. Vibrant aromas of cassis, cherry-cola, candied licorice and Asian spices. Juicy, supple and sweet, with intense cassis and red berry flavors complicated by notes of lavender, licorice, fresh herbs and black pepper. Very syrah in character. Bright acidity adds cut to the long, gently tannic, penetrating finish.
