An oldish school Northern Rhone that's hard to beat for the price.

Solid bottle of juice... Black fruit, some earth. Tannin and vegetal. Nothing special, but I'm happy.

100% Syrah, dark purple like a California Syrah, but with a fruity chocolate nose and a hint of fennel. Flavor of underripe strawberries and the dryness of limestone lead to a long lasting and yeasty finish that ends with an undertone of coffee bean a few minutes later. Very different from a California or Aussie Syrah.
