Staff Pick Notes

This wine is a classical example of Syrah from the North Rhone: It's concentrated and it shows flavors of cracked pepper, leather, black fruit and spices. It's a wine with smoky notes and smooth tannins. It has a long finish and flavors of dry herbs linger in your mouth. It is an elegant wine but, at the same time, it's made in a rustic style, being unfiltered and unfined. The vineyards are situated on a steep hill facing south, southwest. That means plenty of sun and consequently ripe grapes. I think it's a wine that show its character if accompanied with red meat, cured meat or BBQ. It's a great affordable alternative to the more expensive wines of the near area Hermitage

Syrah

We'd like to clear this up once and for all: the Shiraz grape is genetically identical to Syrah. Australian winemakers put "Shiraz" on the map (and, many would argue, vice versa), and the term is now used throughout much of the New World. Let it never be said, however, that Shiraz and Syrah are the same thing: the region in which the grape is grown determines much about the flavor of the wine it will produce. Typically, New World Shiraz yields bigger, fruitier wines than the the peppery Syrahs...
