MAS DE GUIOT 2010 CABERNET/SYRAH
A past favorite that we’re happy to welcome back to the store, the Mas de Guiot Cabernet-Syrah delivers a lot of wine for the money. The blend is 60% Cabernet with 40% Syrah, but to our palate the Cabernet elements take over. The color is a deep, black purple. The nose delivers the expected depth with black cherry, sweet earth, and blackberry. The tannins are substantial enough to keep this wine around for awhile—we had a bottle open for four days and it actually got deeper and smoother with air-time showing development and layers that are at almost unheard of at this price-point.
