2017 Muret-Gaston Syrah EMV
94 Points James Suckling
“This is a very composed, complex and polished Syrah with ample ripe dark plums and blackberries on the nose, as well as pepper-laced dark chocolate. The palate has stunning fluidity that really captivates and delivers a long, sultry rendition of spiced dark fruit. Drink over the next decade.”
James Suckling

91 Points Wine Enthusiast
“This wine's mountain blueberry, huckleberry and flint aromas leap out of the glass. Its blue fruit flavors are rich, saturated and hedonistic. It's unabashed in its appeal.”
