The 2010 Syrah has a light coconut and dark cherry/dark plum scented bouquet that is well defined. The palate is fresh and supple on the entry with a gentle, insistent grip leading to a crisp, dark chocolate tinged finish that is in harmony with the fruit. This is very fine. Drink 2013-2018. Vina Arboleda is Eduardo Chadwick’s personal project in the Aconcagua Valley that began in 1999. Good value can be found here in these consistent and well made wines.Importer: Thienot USA; www.thienotusa.com

Sweet, jammy and friendly on the nose, with a bit of herbs, olive and leather. The palate is firm and healthy, with some oaky residue along with jammy, grainy blackberry, baked plum and bitter chocolate flavors. Sweet and chewy in terms of feel, with a nicely baked overall character.——M.S.(6/1/2011)—— 87
