Tasting notes
Dark ruby with purple highlights and a slightly murky core, the 2017 Syrah Les Collines is immediately expressive on the nose with aromas of black pepper, black raspberry, dark cherry and spiced plum compote along with expressive purple flowers and a firm dustiness. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is textured and mouthwatering, displaying a full-flavored palate that sways back and forth between dark red juicy fruit and sour black fruits with energetic acidity and soft stemminess. There is a spicy flavor that continues to gain intensity on the long, lingering finish, offering pleasure with lingering tannins that subside for soft, funky notions of wet rock on the aftertaste. This wine is surely not to be missed. Well done!

The 2017 Syrah Les Collines offers more stemmy notes of dried spices, baking chocolate, cured meats, and assorted mulled red and black fruits. These carry to a bright, juicy, complex Syrah that has medium-bodied richness and depth, good acidity, and a classy, balanced, lengthy style on the palate. It's going to put on weight with 2-3 years of bottle age and keep for a decade.
