Community Tasting Notes (average 87.7 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 3 notes) | |
| Tasted by eliotfagley on 4/14/2009 & rated 88 points: Good syrah. Inky purple wine, almost black. Nose of blood, leather, white pepper, and cranberry. Leather, iron, black pepper, cranberry and citrus (yes, citrus) dominate the attack. The midpalate is a little hollow with only the iron and citrus carrying it through to a very posteriorly-located cranberry finish that comes on in a wave about 5 seconds after swallowing.

| Tasted by pea on 4/1/2006 & rated 88 points: Classic Rhône syrah with peppery, rubbery aromas. Medium to full-bodied with lots of sweet ripe fruit. Would have hoped that the tannins would have been better integrated. Now they stand out in the finish. Wonder if maybe the fruit have capitulated? Do not let the rest stay in the cellar too long.

About Red Wines Varietal article (Wikipedia) | (Wines Northwest) Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia) The Rhône Valley/Le Vins de la Vallée du Rhône (Comité Interprofession des vins AOC Côtes et vallée du Rhône) The Rhône Valley/Le Vins de la Vallée du Rhône (Comité Interprofession des vins AOC Côtes et vallée du Rhône) Regional History: Phocaean Greeks established viticulture in the Rhone as far back as 600 BC, but until the 14th century the wines were not seen outside the region. The establishment of the Avignonese Papacy (1305-1377) brought fame to the region's wine-so much so that their Burgundian neighbors to the north banned wines from the Rhone in 1446, a measure that effectively cut off trade with England and other Northern European markets for over 200 years. Stretching southward from Lyon to just south of Avignon, the Rhone produces a wide variety of wines, with the appellations north of Valence producing the least (in volume), and the towns south of Montelimar producing prodigious amounts. As in other regions, the most interesting wines come from small farms. Saint-Joseph, in the northern Rhone, extends for some distance between Condrieu in the north to Saint-Peray in the south. The reds are made from Syrah and the rare whites from Marsanne and Rousanne, and Viognier. Crozes-Hermitage AOC (Comité Interprofession des vins AOC Côtes et vallée du Rhône) |
