2023 Collines Rhodaniennes Syrah
Domaine Monier PerréolThis 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.

2021 Côte-Rôtie “Les Roses”
France | Northern Rhône
Delicate and perfumed, it speaks softly, yet it has so much to say: lilies, bacon fat, spices... it could only be Côte Rôtie.
2021 Saint Joseph Blanc “Les Ribaudes”
France | Northern Rhône
Most of this blanc was aged in tank to preserve freshness, but the little bit that was aged in oak provides a glimmer of opulence.

Let the brett nerds retire into protective bubbles, and whenever they thirst for wine it can be passed in to them through a sterile filter. Those of us on the outside can continue to enjoy complex, natural, living wines.
