2020 Crozes Hermitage “Gervans”
Barruol / LynchGervans is one of the great sites in the vast appellation of Crozes-Hermitage with steep hillside vineyards that benefit from cooling breezes. From here, Barruol vinifies a classic northern Rhône Syrah–supple and luscious with satisfying heft. Full of finesse, it opens into black cherry fruits and plentiful violet, soft leather notes playing around the edges. Sure, you could pair it with a fat-capped ribeye, but why not try a more playful approach with this bottle that’s simultaneously serious-drinking and ready-to-go? A board of saucisson and cheeses such as d’Affinois or Brebirousse will do quite nicely.

Living wines have ups and downs just as people do, periods of glory and dog days, too. If wine did not remind me of real life, I would not care about it so much.
