Château Maris
Natural Selection Biodynamic Syrah
Cherry overtones and leather and rubber undertones. A bit of acetaldehyde on the nose but pleasantly so. Bright cherries on the palate with a dusty, satisfying finish and that telltale hint of black pepper. Very approachable and has good typicity for a Syrah in the Languedoc.

1 person found it helpfulApr 5th, 2014Admittedly, I've been on quite Syrah kick lately. This one is dark, meaty, and earthy like you'd expect from biodynamic Minervois. This isn't a northern Rhone Syrah. It's much broader and more brutish than that. Not sure of the exact blend, but Syrah is the only listed grape. This is one if the better Languedoc wines I've had in a good long time.

Mar 13th, 2015I don't know what to think about this. Pushing the limits of strange. Interesting. Drinkable. Syrah? Hideous label. I think it might be biodynamic.
