Côtes -du-Rhone Syrah
Côtes du Rhône, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France

This wine is inky dark in the glass. The nose sports aromas of blackberry, plum, and currant, with notes of sweet oak spice, white pepper, and a bit of anise. There is also a tarry sensation in the bouquet. The palate displays all the fruit you can handle, along with some of that oak. The tannic grip is fairly intense upon opening and should be left to breathe a bit before serving. It is a great pairing with any kind of fatty beef.

Blend of 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache & 10% Mourvèdre with fruit forward aromas of berries and spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and cherry with smoke and savory spice. Medium+ finish, racy tannins ending with earthy herbs. Great value, tasting well, consistent quality.

Had the first of a dozen nearly 2 years ago (97 weeks ago) and that Delectable note and the description still stands. Now having the last of a dozen this must be the best midweek quaffer on the planet and an annual purchase for me. As I said then “quaffable and smashable”. Once I had a bottle I had cellared for 10 years which showed there was basically no change.

2022 vintage. Slightly ripe/gratuitous but that’s how this rolls. Nicely made and with good depth for entry-level juice. With the vacillation of palates, could see this getting scored anywhere from 8.7 to 9.2 and no one would be wrong. Bottom line is “Would you buy it again for the price?” Mais oui. 3.2.26.
