Quinet Collines Rhodaniennes Syrah
Lovely berry bomb on the nose. Smoke, granite, berries, super complex for a wine of this level. Terrific aromatic purity. Nice meatiness. Palate is juicy and soft and has wonderful purity and depth. Lovely granite and mineral twinged finish. Unreal juiciness. Lovely texture. Snowing better than 15 right now

Aug 10th, 2021Killer nose, floral, bloody and meaty. Granite and so much stone. Love it. Red and black berry fruit. Palate is big and juicy. Some grip as well. Terrific fruit. Like a baby baby cote rotie. Textured and deep. Really grippy. What a value.

Excellent value - delicious wine. Perfect pairing with burgers, which was my mother-in-law’s request for Mother’s Day. Deep and dark, with great black fruit and some brininess / minerality. Juicy with great acid. Tannins are quite well integrated for just 4 years of age (though still very much there). Really enjoyable. Decanted 2h.

Plump, juicy syrah mellowed out with minerality & smooth as silk. Oh so pure and clean. This is your weeknight n. rhone and will definitely scratch the itch.

Berry bomb but deep and mineral. Nose hints at liquorice, and dank places. But it’s bright knit together so well.
A bit of Syrah pepper. A bramble of herbs both on the nose and palate.
Beautiful with Double mustard beef stew.

One of the best wines I’ve had from my FASS Selections!
Unbelievably magical!
You just know this one was made by genius from a superior grape gene!

Last had a year ago, was better then. The fruit is still there, but this is quite round tasting at this point - not much cut or acid to chisel things out. Maybe in an odd period or just better a year or two ago. Still a nice pairing with chicken thighs cooked with olives and feta - just not as good as I was hoping based on past bottles.

Jan 8th, 2023Meaty, Beaty, lithe, and bouncy.
A baby Coté Rotie indeed.
N: Meats, Black Olives, Humus, Blackberries, Bay laurel…
P:Bacon Fat, Black fruits, it’s chewy indeed after an hour out, faint oranges in the background.
Delicious
