2022 Collines Rhodaniennes Syrah
Domaine MonierThis Syrah tastes like Syrah, pure and raw, boldly aromatic with nothing to hide. Forget the idea of Syrah always being big and fruity; this one is spice- and mineral-driven, speckled with black pepper and dark hunks of dusty granite. It is nearly all terroir with a touch of tart blackberry to fill in the spaces, and I can tell it’s unfiltered thanks to the way it fills the mouth and demands to be bitten into. Serve it a couple degrees cooler than a typical red and see what this northern Rhône Syrah is all about.
