Le Cros Côtes du Rhône Villages Syrah

It is the very model of a modern CdR.... in a good way. Showing some modern winemaking and oak, but restrained and excellent Syrah, clearly French, clearly Rhône. On the nose, black pepper and blueberries. In the mouth, pepper, blueberries and a touch of integrated oak. Nice fruit, nice acid. Medium-long finish. Yum
