Another monthly WTF Group meet up. Northern Rhône vs Southern Rhône, blind as usual.

This threw a ton of sediment. Didn’t get a ton of bloody meat or olive on this, but it was too dark to be a Southern Rhône.

Young and brooding. This is peppered beef jerky with powerful fruit and persistent grippy tannin which was tamed nicely by a big juicy burger.

(Confession: it was a double double from In-N-Out. Animal style. And the pairing was magnificent.

Inky, deep and brooding Syrah that’s smoothly old-world refined. Paired well with French bistro fare

Massive blueberry juice. Olive tapenade. This is very Aussie in the fruit, but cuts clean and NR on the finish.
