Paired with some lackluster escargot, and a pretty solid braised Moroccan lamb, which brought forward some of the spice elements of this wine.

Northern Rhône Syrah Powerhouse! Dark black fruit aromas and flavors. Notes of black pepper spice and iodine. Brawny and deep. Fantastic!

Kids down - Exploring French wine with Jen out of town! Muted nose of blueberries and currants. Gamey taste with notes of anise and cherries. Nice mouthfeel if a bit one-note.
