A refined and elegant vintage that beautifully expresses the Syrah and Viognier varietals with dark ripe cherries, blueberry, and violets, along with savoury smoked beef and a whiff of white pepper. A refined palate shows ripe lapin cherry, toast, and an earthy minerality, with a soft tannic structure. A sophisticated wine made in the classic northern Rhone style, pair with grilled rosemary and black pepper lamb chops or lamb burgers.
