Domaine Durand (Eric & Joel Durand)

Syrah 2016

Graphite, black peppercorn, and deep dark fruit note on the nose. After opening, a definite barnyard note with fruit undertones. A very different type of syrah, unadulterated and no tricks in the making of it. Quite nice! — 5 years ago

Domaine de la Charriere (Joel Gigou)

La Bulle Sarthoise Pineau d'Aunis

Lautaret St. Joseph Syrah 2003

One of the more unique Syrahs I’ve had. Inky black fruit, roast beef, licorice, cinnamon, and iron. Great acidity and complexity. Nose and palate morphs with each sip. — 7 years ago

Bedrock Vineyard Zinfandel 2017

I wish more Zinfandel could be made like this. While this is just a baby, it’s already delivering so much pleasure. Very primary with bright red fruits and spices. Good acid. Long finish. A few years in the cellar will do these wonders and there’s no reason to doubt the Bedrock bottle will have the ability to age gracefully for well over a decade. Such an exciting project from Joel Patterson and looking forward to trying more!! — 6 years ago
