Wine Shout: Review 2013 Syrah Cuvee Violette

A perfumed, spicy beauty, with an amazingly long finish. The dark berries in this wine show so well and are wrapped in classic Syrah spice. This is beautiful, it’s gorgeous, and I say brilliant. What’s very interesting to the geekier among us is that the Syrah was co-fermented with Roussanne, not Viognier as is the norm. This is something you would’ve only seen back in the day in Hermitage. With less than 900 cases produced, this is a must-get-now wine. You’ll be rewarded as it’s also a ready-to-drink-now wine that’ll give you immediate gratification.
