Crozes-Hermitage Syrah
Crozes-Hermitage, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Clean black fruit/olive/peppercorn, mineral/floral finish. Drinking beautifully. Feels like what the Herve Souhat Syrah aspires to be. Paired with slow roasted short rib steak sandwich with roasted onions and black olive tapenade.

Open and expressive. Spicy and high-toned with tart black fruit, wet clay, and black olive. Really pretty flavors with soft, elegant tannins. Ready to drink

Feb 4th, 2018Tons of depth for a Crozes. Rich but not heavy, smokey and meaty, a hint of floral, and cracked black pepper. Classic Rhone

Nose of spicy black pepper, dried rosemary and violets. In the mouth, red fruit, cracked pepper and bright acidity. Good mid-palate. Medium long finish.
