Syrah from Cote Rotie, Rhone, France

Winemaker Notes

On the palate, it reveals a fresh attack followed by an ample, structured, long-lasting finish. The wine unfurls in successive stages and ends with top-quality tannins produced by whole cluster fermentation. It features aromas and flavors of smoked ham, violet, graphite, graphite, and licorice.

Wine Advocate – 96 Points

Barruol’s 2020 Cote Rotie blends fruit from both ends of the appellation to create an exciting blend of violets and blueberries on the nose. It’s medium to full-bodied, but richly concentrated and silky, with a lingering, elegant finish. Terrific stuff.

Food Pairing

Pairs well with grilled or smoked meats and dishes with herbs, roasted mushrooms, and onions.
