Best Wine at Whole Foods under $25. Clean Syrah. Like Cote Rotie’s ‘Mercian cousin…. “French fries, French bread, French dressing”… — 2 months ago

Cranberry, oak, and strawberry on the nose. Same on the palate with cinnamon and clove. Recommend decanting, as it opened up as I drank it. High acid, medium finish, medium alcohol, medium minus tannins. — 7 months ago

10 years old and it was absolutely delicious. I am not an expert in PN, but there was hardly anything not to like. Near perfect balance of fruit and tannins -which has always been my indicator of a decent wine.  — 5 months ago

Beautiful nose. Very northern Rhone. Palate is pretty great too, not perfect. — 3 years ago

Wow. Even better then I remembered from last summer. This is fresh and ripe and oozing with tension, ripe strawberries, licorice and damp earth. Should’ve brought more! — 4 years ago
