Staff Pick Notes

A dense red wine from the Northern Rhône. Here, for the most part, Syrah is planted. The southeast slopes where the vines are planted, produce powerful and elegant wines. Côte-Rôtie is one of the most respected wine areas in France and the world. Sip to enjoy this wine's surprising freshness. On the nose you'll notice violet; on the palate you'll find leather, spices, and black cherries. This wine is silky with very well integrated tannins and a balanced minerality. It can be enjoyed now, but could also age, evolve, and mature even more. Incredible!

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...
