*5R* 2020 Alain Graillot Crozes-Hermitage Rouge (Rhone Valley, FR)

Weight: 5R

Varietal: Syrah

Region: Rhone Valley, France

Organic

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!
