title: M. Chapoutier 2001 Petite Ruche  (Crozes-Hermitage)
description: Green pepper and tobacco aromas signal some of the sour fruit that appears on the palate. Tastes of beets and pie cherries and an oaky, disparate finish doesn't do much to shape things up. Too sour and scattered.
variety: Syrah
designation: Petite Ruche
