title: Michel Gassier 2009 Les Piliers Syrah (Costières de Nîmes)
description: Although this cuvée is 100% Syrah, it's remarkably well behaved, without any reductive or animale scents. Instead, it delivers ripe cherry and vanilla aromas, some creaminess on the palate and a long, elegant finish that ends savory not sweet. Drink now–2016.
variety: Syrah
