Product Review
Deep ruby red in color. On the nose, powerful aromas of ripe black currant, licorice, and cardamom developing into saddle leather and roasted coffee. On the palate, round ripe fruits with hints of red pepper and truffle. Good structure with a medium (+) finish.

95-Point DOUBLE GOLD 2022 LOS ANGELES INVITATIONAL WINE CHALLENGE
The Rhone is one of France’s most important wine regions. Divided into two separate zones, the north is probably the most prestigious. It is home to the appellations of Condrieu, Côte Rôtie, St. Joseph, Hermitage, and Crozes-Hermitage. Syrah is king with the exception of the Condrieu (100% Viognier) and Hermitage, which also makes big whites from Marsanne and Roussanne. The South is a much larger region where most Cotes du Rhone and Cotes du Rhone Village come from. In the villages of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas, Vacqueyras, and Rasteau, Syrah is blended in varying proportions with Grenache, Mourvedre, Cinsaut, and a host of obscure varieties such as Muscardin, Vaccarese, Terret and Counoise, to produce full-bodied reds brimming with energy.
