A spicy and rich red with chocolate and walnut character packaged with ripe fruit. Full body, round tannins and a flavorful finish. Drink now or hold. Made from biodynamically grown grapes. A blend of 39% syrah, 32% carmenere, 17% merlot, 9% cabernet sauvignon, 2% mourvedre and 1% malbec.

I loved the nose and the balance of the 2013 Coyam. In that cool vintage it was a blend of 48% Syrah, 24% Carménère, 11% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Mourvèdre, 3% Malbec and 1% Petit Verdot. It mixes cool and warm climate characteristics and grapes and comes through as both powerful and balanced. The palate is juicy, and the tannins are very fine. There are some oak-related flavors but nothing food or a little more time in bottle couldn't fix. 219,000 bottles produced. - Luis Gutiérrez

Deep garnet. Peppery and just slightly (attractively) earthy. White and black pepper, restrained dark fruit, beautifully and subtly fragrant. Subtle on the palate too, the tannins are dry and fine-boned. The alcohol does not show as much as on many of these wines on this extremely hot day in London, and the finish is long and elegant. (JH)
