The 2013 Signo Bobal contains some 11% Syrah, as there are no pure varietal wines here. 2013 was a cool and rainy year, which was a positive in warm regions. The Bobal is sourced from 74-year-old vines, and the estate Syrah was planted in 1998. It fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in used 300-liter oak barrels for 11 months. This is the darkest of the three reds I tasted, as the Bobal grape has more color than the other grapes. It has a characterful, varietal nose with some earthy notes and slowly unfurling notes of cured meat. The tannins are dusty but fine: when there's good viticulture and moderate yields, the tannins do not show the rusticity they show when they do not ripen properly because of high yields. As all the wines here, the nose is reticent and takes time to open up. 7,650 bottles and 100 magnums were filled in August 2014.
