A very nice, lush daily-drinking syrah. More black fruit and unsmoked tobacco on the nose than anything else. Not much olive/earth. Smokiness/meatiness coming through on finish on day two. Great with a sausage and mushroom pizza on a cold night. I understand comments about thinking this had a touch of grenache--I would have guessed CdR before Crozes-Hermitage. Nonetheless, a good value at $20-25.
