Arrayán 2006 Selección Red (Mentrida)

  1. $18
Earthy and baked on the nose, with rubber, black fruits and warm, almost burnt leather notes. The palate has a lively, dense mouthfeel and flavors of earthy berry fruits and raisin. Definitely on the warm and roasted side but still balanced and interesting. Drink now.  — M.S.  (4/1/2011)

Arrayán 2004 Syrah (Mentrida)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $32
Licorice and other sweet, dark, unusual aromas set this Syrah on its way. Flavors of raisin and fig tell you that it’s ripe, but the mouthfeel is controlled by sharp, wayward acidity. Finishes with additional licorice and cooked caramel flavors, and as a whole it lacks some balance and a game plan.  — M.S.  (6/1/2009)

Arrayán 2004 Premium Red (Mentrida)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $50
Rather stemmy on the nose for a $50 wine, while the palate is sheering and firm as nails, with licorice and a forced sweetness that starts as blackberry and turns to licorice. With raisin, brandy and anisette flavors driving everything, you better like sweet, liqueur-like drinks if you’re going to fall for this one.  — M.S.  (6/1/2009)
