Tasting notes
One of the highlights in this range, the 2013 Syrah Bouquet Garni is outrageously beautiful. Inky blue and black stone fruit, herbs, game, tobacco, leather and cloves meld together in a deep, unctuous Syrah endowed with real class and personality. This is a striking, modern Syrah built on power and texture. The Bouquet Garni emerges from a site at 1,000 feet in elevation in Bennett Valley.

Two of Luc Morlet's under-the-radar wines are his Syrah and his blend of Semillon and Sauvignon. The two vintages of Bouquet Garni, which is the 100% Syrah, really come across like a Guigal single vineyard Côte-Rôtie such as La Landonne. This is high-elevation Syrah from the Bennett Valley. The 2013 Syrah Bouquet Garni displays tremendous notes of bacon fat, black olive tapenade, truffles, earth, pepper, grilled meats and blood. It is a compelling, world-class, killer Syrah that is full-bodied and capable of lasting 10-15+ years. It is very French in style, but then again, the winemaker is French!
