WineDiva's Review

Meaty, jubilant spicy.
A duo classic to the Northern Rhone Valley, Syrah and Viognier are traditionally a field blend where up to 20% might be the aromatic white Viognier variety.
Jubilant mulberry, plum and sweet blackberry fruits, mocha, vanilla, smoked spices and peach jam with savoury grilled meat undertones. It is medium-bodied and fresh with toasted spices, similar succulent meaty flavours and a raw peppery finish.


 
Recommended Pairings
Rich Meats , Barbeque, Cheese - Goat, French Food
