Community Tasting Note

  June 27, 2008 - Very dark Purple, almost black. Meaty, earthy nose with tapenade and violet top notes and a distinctive crushed stone scent. Rich and thick on the palate, this is a big, meaty style that favors the bacon and pepper side of syrah rather than the floral-violet side. Harmonious acids keep the wine light on its feet and the finish hangs around a good long time and echos the meaty scents of the nose. A really powerful Crozes that should age into something quite nice. Save for winter time drinking with hearty foods.
