Shop review: Syrah, the legendary grape of the Northern Rhone AOC's of Cote Rotie, Hermitage, and Cornas delivers ample flavor for a reasonable price. This Reserve Syrah is aged in French oak for 6 months. The wine exhibits ripe black fruit flavors and a touch of white pepper. This medium bodied red wine will age well for 3 - 5 years. Serve with red meat, game, and stews.
My review: The nose is rich with earthiness and dark cherries. There is a fruity chocolate taste to it. A dry feel, almost like the bitterness.dryness you get from drinking coffee.
I did not have food with this tasting.
