Not as big of a wine as I would’ve initially thought. Lots of personality but in a fun and lively package that is not austere at all. Bold plummy 1st dimension, with a hearthier depth involving chocolate, cinammon, cloves, cured meat, and that classic Syrah pepper kick. Surprisingly vibrant acidity for South Rhone. Very easy to get through and a very pleasing wine overall. Maybe a bit expensive at 50$ CAD, but decent value.

Just fine, but nothing special. Would be a fun quaffing red were it not for the overly alcoholic body. Kind of throws off the whole thing to me.

Thin, unbalanced acidity and lacking in flavor. Hard pass for me, and I usually love this varietal. A shame, really.
