Region: Rhone Valley, France

Varietal: 98% Syrah & 2% Viognier

Tasting Notes: A attractively spicy and complex young wine that offers super fragrant dark cherries on the nose. Chocolate and dark-plum flavors build on the palate. Holds round, fresh and upbeat, on a fine-tannin finish.

Decant for at least an hour before serving. Pairs well with slow roasted lamb.
