Southern Rhone: the birthplace of Syrah. Dark ruby color. Not much nose to speak of. You really have to swirl intensely to get any kind of scent. The mouth delivers dark fruit, hints of pepper, spices, and perhaps a bit of vanilla on the finish if your paying close attention. They consider themselves "powerful, yet elegant." If you're used to Washington or California Syrah, you will be disappointed. It was good with steak, but I wouldn't drink this for the pure enjoyment and you can't beat the price: $15. Go for the Rhone blends to the north.
