Côtes du Rhône Brézème Syrah


Tex always delivers. Walks a compelling textural balance between delicate and grippy. Some very nice peppery red fruits, orange, dried herbs and savory dried meat coaxed out with a bit of air

Peeper spice, cured meats, blackberry, beef jerky, showing some age(tobacco), crushed rocks, soy sauce, soft tannins and nice acid to hold it all together. Had with a ribeye, was great.

Deep violet. Powerful, smoke-accented dark berries, licorice and pungent flowers on the mineral-inflected nose. Chewy black and blue fruit and candied violet flavors take on a spicy aspect as the wine opens up. In a generous yet still lively style, with solid finishing thrust and dusty tannins framing a long, dark-fruit-dominated finish. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, April 2020)

Marvelous example of aged CDR. Bright, focused and long with tons of blackberry fruit, smoky garrigue and a lovely spice palate. Drinking marvelously?

Blue fruits, floral, and mineral, with just a hint of smoked meat. Not quite complex but energetic and a joy to drink

Fruitier than I remember from previous vintages. The savory notes blossomed on night two.
