Qupe Syrah Central Coast
U.S.A.: CALIFORNIA - RED - SYRAH
Size750MLVintage2018SKU16755
This is a wine that displays more of the spicy, racy and mineral aspects of syrah with a strong savory component and less of that jammy fruit. There is a freshness on the palate that carries through the finish.
Etienne Becheras Syrah IGP Collines Rhodaniennes
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -NORTHERN - SAINT-JOSEPH
Size750MLVintage2021SKU25977
This wine is de-stemmed, and fermented and aged entirely in steel for one year, came entirely from a young parcel in Saint-Joseph in the 2021 vintage, and will incorporate new plantings in Crozes-Hermitage going forward. With its modest alcohol, plump and spicy fruit, and perky acidity, this Syrah embodies the varietyEntrefaux Crozes Hermitage
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -NORTHERN - CROZES-HERMITAGE
Size750MLVintage2019SKU20631
Rich, dark berry fruit tinged with garrigue aromas and white pepper lead into a thick, saturated wine in the mouth. Ripe, well-coated tannins provide ample backbone for several years of age, though it will be tough to keep your hands off this beauty.Etienne Becheras Saint-Joseph Rouge Tour Joviac
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -NORTHERN - SAINT-JOSEPH
Size750MLVintage2019SKU30527
This special, limited cuvee is produced from two parcels in Arras that are on steep, rocky hillsides. Although from young vines, the excellent position of the vineyards yields a wine of compelling concentration, plum-like fruit and emphatic structure.

Black fruited and spicy on the nose. Rich black fruits on the palate, very berry, notes of raspberry, hint chocolate, flowers, hint chocolate. Nice persistence and depth.Alain Voge Cornas "Les Chailles
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -NORTHERN - CORNAS
Size750MLVintage2011SKU17520
The opaque purple-colored Cornas Les Chailles offers up scents of smoked game and charcoal, a full-bodied mouthfeel, supple tannins and pedal-to-the metal richness and density. Already drinkable, it has at least 15 years of aging potential.Ferraton Cornas "Les Eygats
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -NORTHERN - CORNAS
Size750MLVintage2014SKU24618
Juicy and compact, with a core of bundled-up currant preserves, plum coulis and bitter cherry flavors that are starting to unwind. Should age nicely, as there is lively acidity driving the finish and hints of bay, pepper and olive in the background that should emerge with time. 92pts Wine Advocate.Alain Voge Cornas Vieilles Vignes
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -NORTHERN - CORNAS
Size750MLVintage2017SKU27997
Ripe and compact, with a coiled-up core of blackberry and bitter cherry fruit that should unwind fully with time. Racy iron, savory and plum pit notes on the finish add cut and length. Lovely purity. 97pts Jeb DunnuckFerraton Hermitage Rouge "Les Miaux
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -NORTHERN - HERMITAGE
Size750MLVintage2015SKU24612
A blend from two communes; the alluvial Dionnieres and the pebbly Meal, (think Chapoutier) this wine has been treated to an extended maceration then 14 months in barrel. Notes of blueberry and creme de cassis dominate this powerful and fleshy wine; profound in texture and profoundly satisfying. 94pts Wine Enthusiast

U.S.A.: CALIFORNIA - RED - SYRAH
Size750MLVintage2005SKU7399
A gorgeous, rich, highly extracted wine with pepper and cherries as well as a background of earth and smoke. Intense and vibrant with plum, raspberry and toasty oak this is a well made wine with a revealing finish.
Chapoutier Cote Rotie la Mordoree
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -NORTHERN - COTE-ROTIE
Size750MLVintage2009SKU16321
The 2009 Cote Rotie La Mordoree (471 cases) is potentially the finest La Mordoree made since the monumental 1991 (which is just beginning to hit full maturity at age 20). Spring flower, black olive, smoky barbecued meat, creme de cassis, graphite and black cherry characteristics are all found in this complex, aromatic effort. With an unctuous texture and a full-bodied mouthfeel, this is a gorgeous example of Cote Rotie Syrah that should drink nicely for 20-25+ years. 96pts Wine Advocate (2009)
Thierry Allemand Cornas Reynard
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -NORTHERN - CORNAS
Size750MLVintage2011SKU7547
Deep, saturated purple. Explosively aromatic nose shows intense floral, blackberry, cassis and dark cherry, with a ripeness bordering on liqueur-like. Impossibly sweet and concentrated, with intense dark berry and plum flavors and an intoxicating, pungent floral quality. The fruit almost overwhelms the palate and builds impressively through the extremely long finish. A remarkable wine, with the power and balance to age for years. 94pts Stephen Tanzer (2004)
