Well first off the was the 2012 vintage Syrah not merlot. Its a decent wine, good body. Dry finish. The original price I believe is 38 dollars and for that price there are other alternative wines that provide more of an experience. However, if there you can find this wine for the mid 20 dollar range it would be very good price and well worth the money. — 4 years ago
Yummy, full but not overpowering. Smooth, not chalky. I think I actually hallucinated while drinking this wine and hallucinated that I was standing in the vineyard where it was made. — 4 years ago

I don’t drink Northern Rhône enough, but this terrific single vineyard Syrah crafted by the late, long-time Latour cellar master Denis Malbec is for sure nothing like new world Syrah.
The nose was filled with fresh dark cherry and raspberry, and turned to parades of cedar, fresh herbs, vanilla, dried mushroom, and light smoked hays. Slight hint of dried rose petals too. On the palate it had a richer feel than the nose would indicate. Dark spices and earthy minerals with sharp acidity. Polished tannins. — 4 years ago
At 15 years old, perhaps slightly past peak maturity but still fruit dominated, with a little tannin. Nicely balanced though only a trace of structure; very pleasant. — 5 years ago

Nice. Generally just avoid organic-y sustainable wines bc I've been burned, but bought this on the merit of the description at the shop. Good stuff & I'd drink again. Although am drinking spicy food so might not really know ;-) — 7 years ago
