Complex; plums, herbs, white pepper...classic Syrah aromatics. I've finally figured out that this less ripe version of Syrah pairs beautifully with tomato sauced dishes.

Good acid and drive with a really intense black olive and herb note. I almost like this wine but there is virtually no tannins. I feel like this is a missed opportunity.

On the top end of just OK. This guy can produce some wines in France but maybe going outside might be a step ambitious. I don't know what it is about French winemakers trying to stick to a single grape sometimes. They are masters of blending, so why not stick to it? The wine is a touch flat for what it is until you let it open. After that, it comes to life. If you want to really enjoy it, don't concentrate on the nose. Swish like you would an Italian Barbera, and let the black pepper and blackberry come out.

Deep purple with a slight inky center. Quick legs. Plum and slight herbal nose. Maybe eucalyptus. Medium bodied. Medium spice. Dark berry on the palette.

Delicious Shiraz from Australia that you would swear was from the Rhone in France. Juicy raspberry fruit with a touch of anise and herb, and a soft finish. Doesn't linger too long, perfect for beginners to the category!

Kaleidoscope of true Syrah aromas not overpowered by uber alcohol. Peppery dark fruit and smooth finish. Ripe fruit but style more French than Australia.
