Wednesday, April 3, 2013 - Tasty stuff. 100% syrah. Very vibrant. . But I think I like the Cullieron better for its smoothness and richness.

From the Louis Dressner website on Texier:
"I also rent around 4 ha in Vaison: 3.5 ha of grenache aged between 30 and 55 years"
You are right, a large majority of his wines are from Syrah (or Serine).
