Les Launes Crozes-Hermitage Syrah
Crozes-Hermitage, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Subtle is the name for Crozes-Hermitage. Medium body, medium tannin, generous acid and a palate that presents itself almost sequentially. There is freshness to the fruit, particularly the blueberry and currant, displaying over a layer of gravel and a touch of barnyard funk. Think opposite a Chuck Smith Syrah, but on the edge of becoming hollow. Drink now through 2020.
