Bel' Villa Syrah 2022

Deep purple in color with a purplish rim.

Strong nose of black fruits with oak, earth and chocolate notes.

Full bodied and soft, with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black cherries, black plums, currants, oak, licorice, earth, light vegetables, herbs, dark chocolates and peppercorn.

Medium on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This young Syrah from Red Mountain is starting to drink very nicely. Rich, elegant and fruit forward. Complex with a soft mouthfeel.

Needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years and see how it evolves.

This Single Vineyard Syrah is powerful, yet elegant. Soft, spicy and smooth. Good by itself or with food.

100% Syrah grapes were aged in (50% new) French and American Oak barrels for 18 months. Unfiltered and Biodynamic. A tiny production of less than 1,500 bottles.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

Bel Ormeau

Les Hérits Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2018

Blend of Merlot (70%), Cabernet Sauvignon (15%) and Cabernet Franc (15%). Dark ruby color with a garnet rim. Aromas of dark berry fruit, violets, wood smoke and leather. Blackberry, black plum, black currant fruit flavors with a distinct note of dark chocolate. Hint of black pepper spice on the long and earthy finish. Chewy tannins and a big hit of acidity, which will probably tone down with more bottle age. Needs a bit more rest. Thanks for sharing, Keith S! — 2 months ago

Château Bel Air

Lussac-St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2020

Really nice St. Emilion satellite wine. After 30 min the palate is ripe with red and black fruit and vegetation. The tannic bite on the back end is soft and smooth. Great QPR — 7 months ago
