Cooler temps make it a Syrah kind of day. Join me? This one is just hitting right today. Exactly what you want from Côte Rôtie, this wine has great meat, great fruit, great finish.. it's still young but doing just fine!

2016. Balances fruit tannins and acidity. Soft tannins because of the age. Ripe. — 4 months ago

Le Grand Vallon Condrieu Viognier 2004

Opened and decanted about an hour prior to service and presented double-blind. The wine appears deep yellow nearing gold in color; medium+ viscosity. On the nose, the wine is vinous and super floral with peaches and marzipan and some signs of oak, a portion new French oak. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium- acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long, weighty with a pronounced oily texture. Alcohol is elevated. I called Marsanne/Roussanne blend from France, Northern Rhône, Hermitage Blanc with 15+ years of age. Close! The florals and elevate alcohol should have steered me to Condrieu but that’s hindsight. Regardless, this was a delicious reminder to allow Northern Rhône whites to age. Drink now. — 8 months ago
