François Villard
l'Appel des Sereines Syrah
Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Textbook Northern Rhone Syrah in a very affordable, drink now package. Bing cherry, currants, light and pleasantly integrated peppercorn and smoke notes, a touch of beef bouillon and soil. Medium bodied, pure textures of finely grained tannin and perfectly integrated acidity. Med+ on the finish. If you have been drinking new world syrah and are hesitant to buy in on a Cote-Rotie, Hermitage or even a Saint-Joseph, this is a nice entry point.

Very nice price/pleasure ratio. Rhône Nord's super class nose: smoked bacon, violet, pepper, black and red fruits. Gourmet mouth, simple but of beautiful precision. Simple treat that foreshadows François Villard's more serious cuvées.
Très beau rapport prix plaisir. Nez super classe typé Rhône Nord: lard fumé, violette, poivre, fruits noirs et rouges. Bouche gourmande, simple mais d’une belle précision. Très beau glouglou abordable qui préfigure les cuvées plus sérieuses de François Villard.
