Vintage Cellar Review: Syrah, the legendary grape of the Northern Rhone AOC's of Cotie Rotie, Hermatige, 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 on this wine smelled like grape juice. There were definite flavors of dark fruit. The wine seemed light for a red wine. There was little after taste or burn.
