*5R* 2020 Alain Graillot Crozes-Hermitage Rouge (Rhone Valley, FR)
5R
Medium-bodied wines with more structure and a mouth-feel similar to whole milk
*5R* 2020 Alain Graillot Crozes-Hermitage Rouge (Rhone Valley, FR)
Crafted by the late, great Northern Rhone winemaker Alain Graillot, this stunning expression of Syrah is made from organic grapes and shows remarkable complexity. Aromas of earth, smoke, and bacon fat are backed up by blackberry; on the palate, this dark fruit is accentuated by raspberry, olive, and black pepper. If you’ve never had cool-climate Syrah, this is an amazing place to start!
About The Varietal
Syrah
Shiraz and Syrah are interchangeable names for the same dark-skinned grape variety when viewed in terms of DNA. Originating in the Rhône Valley, this grape dominates plantings in the northern section of the valley. The name Shiraz is commonly used in Australia and certain regions of the New World, particularly those with warmer climates. The stylistic differences between Shiraz and Syrah wines are often distinct, contributing to the enduring dual identities of this grape variety.
How To Enjoy
Enjoy with braised or game meats or herb heavy eggplant.
