Tasting - "Montes Alpha Syrah"

Name: Montes Alpha Syrah
Variety: 90% Syrah, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Viognier
Region: Apalta (D.O. Colchagua Valley)
Country: Chile 
Year:2009
Price: $7.95
Shop/wine critic/winery review: Blackberry and cola aromas are cool and collected. The palate has weight and texture to accompany berry, mint, herb and peppery flavors. Turns more herbal and roasted as it unwinds. Pepper and
spice lead the finish.
Your review: I really didn't not like this wine. It was a deep red in color and honestly tasted very much like I would imagine dirt to taste like. It also had a somewhat smokey flavor. 
Did not have food with the wine
