AUTHOR: Dave McIntyre TITLE: TN: Wine Find: Two Brothers Syrah 2003, $9 DATE: 10/28/2005 10:10:00 AM ----- BODY:

The Two Brothers label burst upon the value wine scene three years ago, offering a bargain red from Chile with high quality and a philanthropic reason to buy it - the proceeds go to breast cancer research. The wine was a tribute by Alex and Eric Bartholomaus to their mother, Liliana, who succumbed to breast cancer, and was such an instant success that the brothers have contributed more than $500,000 to the cause through 2004, with another $250,000 projected for this year. Now they expand their line with the delightful 2003 Syrah from Colchagua Valley in Chile. It is soft and supple, instantly appealing with blueberry and cherry fruit and the telltale smoky flint of Chile. It lacks depth, but makes up for it with plenty of charm. Okay, so I'm a flirt.
