  Pizza Mundo, last bottle, and an excellent Crozes Hermitage. Classic syrah flavors, would have done very well in a flight of better known St. Joseph’s. Will have to get some newer vintages. Yum.

  Plenty of fruit, decent concentration. This is a rather one note performance that is clearly Syrah. That said, it is inexpensive and enjoyable. Drinking wide open on pnp, so no need to hold back!

  Medium bodied Syrah from the Appellation d'Origine Protege Rhone Valley Vineyards. Earthy, savory, with a hint of mint. Nice all rounder ready to drink.
  
  I didn't find the searing tannins or sour acids others seemed to find and I guess I agree with @thebonnydooner's over all review.

  Not even close to being ready, tannic, slightly sour, and very dry, even with a decant. HOLD. Needs 1-2 years. Disjointed right now.

  More fruit-forward than had anticipated, but well balanced and certainly ends dry and spicy. Nice value from Garagiste at under $19.
