The 2008 Aliara is a blend of 50% Syrah, 30% Carignan, and 20% Malbec that works beautifully. The wine spent 18 months in new French oak. It displays sandalwood, earthy minerals, black fruits, balsamic, and lavender. Full-bodied, spicy, plush, and complex, this lengthy effort merits another 2-3 years of cellaring and offers a drinking window extending from 2014 to 2023.
