#Wine Beautiful floral delicate aroma. A breath of spring with a lovely taste of raspberries and grapefruit. Lightly acidic and just perfectly crisp for these hot summer days.

#Pairing Pizza! Though, I think this would be a great match for roasted chicken.

Beautiful with an hour of breathing time. Concentrated berry fruit without being jammy. Pure. Fruit forward. Hot on the finish. Several blind tasters were leaning Grenache. — 7 years ago

If there were ever an archetypical Syrah, Jamet's Cote-Rotie would be a strong candidate. To me this is a pure expression of a classic Northern Rhone Syrah. It is not a single site, but a blend of terroirs, encompassing over 20 sites mostly from hard rock schist bedrock with little to no topsoil. There is NO Viognier in this wine like one might expect from most Cote-Rotie that might have 1-5% co-fermented.

Importantly, there is also a lot less of the oak character that can dominate and overwhelm many Northern Rhone wines. The oak maturation, while not short at 22 months, only uses 15% new oak with no trace of it on the palate as it is perfectly integrated. Grape bunches are whole cluster fermented and macerated for up to 3 weeks.

The 2007 we have here was drinking superbly for a young wine, showing lively and racy layers of peppercorn spice, roast beef, and warm blackberry and currant fruit from the hot 2007 vintage. While from a warm vintage, not a hair is out of place. Density and purity exude from the nose and hint at what a brilliant future this wine has. Perfect acidity and fleshy ripe tannin provide the backbone structure for father time to peel back the layers of this beauty. I will be chceking back in 5 years at the earliest. — 9 years ago

This is the rainbow Syrah. Outstanding carbonic Syrah. I think it shows that SB Syrah has way more to offer than some of the Pinot. Blueberry, cranberry, forest, rocks, a bit of herbs/spice, but the acidity really shines. Loving this new winery inside a winery. Definitely better than standard stolpman wines. — 4 years ago

1990 Chateau Rayas Syrah. Decanted 1 hr before serving and it needed every minute of it. Light in color, but rich in flavor. Continued to open up throughout dinner. Initial taste upon opening bottle was iffy: we thought it tasted “hot” and might have been improperly stored at some point. However, as the wine evolved in the decanted, this unpleasant thin and hot feel at the end went away. Roses, black plum, strawberry, licorice, black olives. K picked up more of the fruit. I picked up more of the salty notes. Delicious! — 5 years ago

BBQ & Zin night!

This was served too warm for my liking, especially alongside the hot TX BBQ, so it was tough to get everything out of it, but it was still youthful and powerful. Mainly red and black fruits here, with some sweet oak. Not quite jammy but not quite peppery. Good balance. — 7 years ago

The best, pound for pound, in the Turley stable. Vibrant but balanced, just hot enough to be Zinfandel. And it opens beautifully and quickly. More please — 9 years ago

I am so biased.. for me this is the ideal wine... just hits all the notes on my taste buds.. fruity, acidic, light with a great breadth finish.. if I could choose a wine that I can drink for the rest of my life that would be it .. it is elegant, refined but still humble and fun.. goes with almost anything and or can simply quench your thirst in a hot day — 9 years ago

Very good, though wish I’d opened this sooner—not fruit forward as I’d prefer. Still, great fleshy red and black fruit, a real beauty. Fair warning: this one’s fairly hot (15.8%) but doesn’t taste it at all. — 7 years ago
