What to Expect

Syrah: One of the few grapes to really be a global success. Syrah combines a meaty core of ripe berry fruit with tones that range from herbal to peppery in a package that tends to be medium bodied with good acidity and softer tannins. With age the wines can gain lovely leathery and black olive notes that make them a great match for savory and gamy dishes.

Reviews

The flavors are dense and layered, with fresh black, briary fruit, and a velvety, jammy intensity. Fully integrated, ripe tannins promise tremendous aging potential for those willing to wait 15 to 20 years. In Voge's rather ramshackle cellars, Syrah is transformed into an ethereal and hedonistic beverage. Not the intellectual approach of Gerin, but heartfelt wine as though the ancient single-staked vines were telling their own story of drought, frost, heat, and Alain's loving care.
