Country: France / Rhône Valley
Variety: Syrah
Winery: Michel Gassier / Les Piliers
This is as perfumed an example of Syrah as you’ll find from the Southern Rhône. Hints of herbs, spice and violets accent blueberry fruit in this charming wine. It’s medium in body—not that rich but or layered but supple, silky and easily accessible. Drink this through the end of 2015.
