This wine exemplifies why Syrah from the Northern Rhone can be so amazing.  Blackberry, Black Currant, Candied Cherries, Black Olives are woven together in a smoky expression.  At this price, the wine is an absolute steal - a must for all Syrah lovers.     Kurt Fauerbach, Owner Xplor Wine

Tasting Notes:

In what was a particularly hot vintage, the Syrah expressed itself to perfection on this terroir of round pebbles to offer a characterful, rich and intense wine. Deep black in hue, with emphatic aromas of black fruit and pepper, this is a wine that is powerful and distinguished in the mouth, with excellent cellaring potential.     Winemaker's Notes

Tasting Notes:

Normally a good-sized step up from the negociant bottling, the 2018 Crozes-Hermitage Domaine les Alexandrins is a full-bodied, concentrated effort loaded with black olives and dark, plummy fruit. The tannins are supple, making it immediately approachable, with a rich texture and velvety finish.     Wine Advocate

Tasting Notes:

Notes of grilled plum and cassis preserves are shaded by scorched meat and bramble in this four-square Syrah. It’s a ripe, penetrating wine, with bright acidity and fine, silky tannins that are immediately welcoming. This lovely introduction to the Northern Rhône.     Wine Enthusiast
