Community Tasting Note

Sunday, August 30, 2020 - I'm so glad I opened this with the Faurie as it shows how special the wines are that Eric is making from this site. It's easily identifiable as Northern Rhône Syrah. There is a distinct chalkiness type thing that goes on with this wine. It makes it a bit more lifted and piercing than granite or other bedrock sites. I think that's what makes it so distinctive, unlike any other Northern Rhône Syrah I can think of while at the same time it couldn't be from anywhere else. There is dark cocoa and leather with savory herbs and a touch of smoke that envelops the dark berry fruit. The tannins are fine but building and give that chalky sense mentioned previously. I wish I had another half case at least because I think this is still not at plateau.
