description: It's pricey for a Vin de Pays, but it's basically a baby Côte Rôtie, made from Syrah grown on steep slopes in the Northern Rhône. Raspberry aromas blend with hints of cracked pepper and a hint of hickory-smoked bacon, while the palate adds flavors of espresso and black olive to the mix. Silky and long on the finish. Drink now–2018, and possibly beyond.
variety: Syrah
designation: L'Âme Soeur
