Wine

Lovers of dense, woody, over-ripe Syrahs, move on. Here it’s all about fresh spices, tension, liveliness, dynamic and straight forwardness. This vintage matches these qualities exactly and best served young, for its juice and fruitiness.

This Syrah has intense aromas of violets with the trademark peppery character and freshness due to the cool Cabardès climate.
