Sexy Syrah

The recent tastings on the blog have been from a mixed case..and although a few scored higher...this and the Goisot were not only very good..but well-priced..this little gem costs
€ 17...and it's beautifully packaged..
look at that photo!

David Reynaud, along with his mother Marceline, runs this vineyard. Up until 2002 production was sold to the local co-operative but then David decided to bottle under his own label which needed a new cuverie.He makes two cuvées of red Crozes from three very different and separate plots. The top cuvée, Les Croix, is made from grapes from a plot of older vines (over fifty years old).

A soft 'Jungle Book' funky Syrah(100%)..
spices and tobacco..really lovely mouthful..soft, plush..light raspberry fruit..just a touch of tannins..very sexy..what more can you ask for?..
and a tip..open and drink..in my opinion..needed no airing.
