Smoothest French Syrah we’ve tried. Very balanced and jammy, flavors of dried cherries and raspberries. So so good

I have been drinking a bunch of Northern Rhone wines lately. Fresh herbs, cherry, tobacco. Lovely.

Garnet robe. Medium nose of tobacco, plumbs and dark fruit. Taste of prunes, figs, light spices and plumbs. Faintly sweet with well balanced tannins. Lovely soft finish. Amazing wine.
