eautiful aromas of dark fruit, walnuts and almonds. Full body, extremely integrated tannins and a long caressing finish. A blend of 38% syrah with 31% carmenere, 19%merlot, 10% cabernet sauvignon, 1% mourvedre and 1% malbec. A balanced and caressing textured red. Drink or hold.

91+ The 2012 Coyam, one of the top of the range single vineyard wines from Emiliana, is a blend of 39% Syrah, 32% Carménère, 17% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Mourvèdre (Monastrell) and a pinch of Malbec -- a similar mix every vintage nowadays, from the Coyam vineyard in the Los Robles estate in Colchagua. Despite the vintage conditions of 2012 being warmer and riper that 2011, I feel more freshness and balance in the glass, more subtleness; this is a serious red blend with aromas borrowed from the Bordeaux and Mediterranean grapes, quite complex if not really exuberant or showy. The palate is juicy, ripe without excess with perhaps a touch of warmth in the finish. This is good value. - Luis Gutierrez
