Chateau De Saint Cosme Cotes du Rhone Rouge

Syrah requires a warm climate to fully ripen but enough moderating effect to produce intense, aromatic wines that are not overwhelmed by sweetness and alcohol. This Syrah grows in ideal terroirs of the southern Rhône and shows the varietal’s typical spicy notes of sandalwood, violets, and black pepper90 Pts Wine Spectator- 

A solidly built version, with crushed cherry and plum puree, notes that meld with melted red licorice before singed juniper takes over on the finish. This has guts and range. Drink now through 2023.
