Les Lézardes Vin de Pays des Collines Rhodaniennes Syrah

That rare creature, a refreshing red. Light, low alcohol, a little tart, earthy and spicy, delicious on a hot day with lamb burgers.

Such a mastery of Syrah from the Northern Rhône

Côte Rôtie quality at a bargain price from René Rostaing

A bottle I used to sell. Looking forward to this one again..

Green and just mean. Banking on the name and little else.

Olives

Half the price of most Côte Rôtie all hits all the characteristic Northern Rhône Syrah descriptors. Nice floral notes, game, tobacco, and olive. I wish I had shared this wine with @Matt Sanders or @Blake Engleman instead of drinking it alone.

Really nice Syrah. 2009 Well balanced now.

I like this

Barbecue sauce and raspberries. Bacon and roasted slopes. Again again again....gets better as the bottles stays open too. Classic and the winemaking hand is not here, just the juice 👍🏼
