  In some ways a by-the-books Northern Rhone Syrah. Dark cherry notes with smoked plum, black olive, mint, and a long, forest-floor finish, with a tannin structure that’s very much present but by no means overwhelming. We split a bottle of this with a rack of lamb and some beef tartare, nailed it.

  Notes of blueberries, violets, smoke, chocolate and wildflowers with hint of vanilla. It’s a very pleasant. I’m really enjoying the violet aroma and flavor.

  A textbook example of Syrah. On the nose, it is quite earthy with black pepper and black and blue fruits. On the palate the dark cherry, blackberry, blueberry along with a spicy finish. Great introduction into Northern Rhone wines!

  Sale from $27 down to $15 so was very excited to hopefully have found a diamond in the rough of Northern Rhone. 2+ hour decant. This is showing nothing and never opened up or gave anything. No France, red fruit or N Rhone syrah character even by the last glass about 5 hours later. By the end I was even evaluating if I would choose this $15 Guigal over a $15 S Rhone blend and I would not. Too bad.

  Tasty wine for a weeknight pop n pour. Punches well above its price and will age nicely.
