La Matinière Crozes-Hermitage Syrah

Slightly better than the 2012 but not quite as developed as the 2011 at this stage. Wonderful fruit aromas with dusty bacon fat and dry herbs.

together! and costs on these are stupid cheap!!

Nice color and somewhere between a Chard and SVB. Very good with Scallops and Flounder.

Strong and very dry with a deep plum color. Red berries smell.

Jam and bacon fat.

2013. Meaty, flowers, med plus acid, full body. Lovely

My first try at a Syrah from the Northern Rhone and it really expresses "those" Rhone characteristics: dark fruit, dried violets and lavender, tobacco, cracked black pepper and smoked meat. Elegant on the nose and palate, it flirts with you, gorgeous.

This wine is awesome, it's so peppery and delicious. And the bartenders here are awesome!
