If you like northern-rhone style Syrah, this is the value of the year. Tons of black pepper and game notes with a really high tone, dark fruit accenting the whole thing. It has just enough body to keep it approachable and in balance. Only 15 dollars, are you kidding me!

Apr 25th, 2015Great northern Rhône vin de pays. Silky texture, black pepper, dark fruit, some heat on the finish. Solid tannins and structural balance. Tremendous value.
