96-98 Dark purple. Powerful dark berry, incense, olive, licorice, allspice and floral aromas are complemented by suggestions of mocha and vanilla. Sweet, broad and chewy on the palate, offering concentrated blackberry, cherry liqueur, smoky bacon and candied violet flavors that are given spine and lift by a core of juicy acidity. Clings with superb tenacity on the penetrating finish, shaped by steadily mounting tannins. All de-stemmed fruit and 50% new oak.

Varietal

Syrah

Known as Syrah in most countries around the world, and Shiraz in Australia and certain other regions of the New World, this grape varietal has proven over the centuries to be one of the most powerful and flavorful red wine grapes there is. It is now one of the planet's most widely grown grapes, and is a favorite with wineries as a result of its robustness and versatility. It isn't easy to identify many characteristics of this particular varietal, due to the fact that it is highly versatile and shows significant differences in flavor and character depending on the terroir it is grown in, and the climatic conditions of the region. However, Syrah is most widely associated with full bodied, strong and loud red wines, packed full of fruity and spicy flavors, held in a beautifully deep red liquid.

Region

Rhone Valley

The Rhone Valley of southern France is a particularly fascinating wine region, with a history that stretches back to at least six hundred BCE, when the ancient Greeks first began cultivating vines there. The region itself is split into two distinct sub-regions, with the northern sub-region being famed for its production of exceptional Syrah, Marsanne, Roussane and Viognier wines, packed full of interesting character and expressing the terroir found there. The southern sub-region is home to an enormous variety of grapes, and produces red, white and rosé wines, and some of the world's most famous and adored blended wines. The continental climate of the region is ideal for growing grapes, and the winds which blow from the Central Massif help temper the heat in the vineyards, leading to very ripe fruits holding plenty of flavor.

Appellation

Cote Rotie

Côte-Rôtie, an esteemed appellation in the Northern Rhône Valley of France, stands as a beacon of Syrah excellence. What makes Côte-Rôtie unique is its dramatic topography, where steep terraced vineyards cling to the slopes of the Rhône River. The region's continental climate, combined with granite soils and ample sun exposure, contributes to the exceptional ripening of Syrah grapes, resulting in wines of unparalleled aromatic complexity and structure. Côte-Rôtie wines are characterized by their signature flavors of dark fruits, violets, and a distinctive smokiness. The appellation allows the co-fermentation of Syrah with a small percentage of Viognier, adding floral and aromatic dimensions to the wines. Producers like Guigal and Jamet exemplify Côte-Rôtie's commitment to tradition, crafting wines that showcase the synergy between terroir and grape variety. Exploring Côte-Rôtie offers a profound encounter with the pinnacle of Syrah craftsmanship, where the Rhône's hillsides give birth to wines of sublime beauty and complexity.

Wine Enthusiast

#3 in Top 100 Cellar Selections 2023. With an intense and focused character, this wine exudes an enticing spiciness up front, accompanied by layers of dark, flashy fruit, concentrated plums, blackberries, Indian spices, wild violets and terra cotta. On the palate, the oak presence is apparent, revealing its power and intensity. Discover bold notes of black olives, green pears, boysenberry, cassis, blueberries, sandalwood and green peppercorn. Although hard to resist now, revisiting this well after 2028 should be rewarding.(Cellar Selection)

Wine Spectator

Gorgeous, featuring a long beam of fresh, savory-tinged cassis and black cherry fruit flavors that drive along, with a cast iron note and generous olive, tobacco and violet accents. Well-structured finish. One for the cellar. Best from 2024 through 2038. 417 cases made, 23 cases imported.

Winery Notes

Bright purple with an explosively perfumed bouquet that displays ripe, spice-tinged blackberry, cherry compote, incense and smoky bacon scents, backed by vanilla and mocha qualities. Huge mouthfeel, it is a wine with power and sustainability. Offers palate-staining dark fruit liqueur, vanilla and candied violet flavors that are lifted and given focus by a jolt of juicy acidity. Youthfully firm tannins build steadily through a strikingly long, penetrating finish that repeats the blue fruit and floral qualities. Ages gracefully for 10+ years from vintage date. Will perfectly accompany red meats and games, charcuteries, strong cheeses.
