Description
One of the best value Rhone reds we have tried in a long time. Guy Farge is a hugely accomplished winemaker in Northern Rhone and his 'Bouquet de Syrah' has all the quality of a Crozes Hermitage but without the price tag. A silky mouthfeel with plums, blueberries and spice, and gentle notes of strawberries. Medium to full bodied and a wine that is made for food. Perfect for people who love a Coted du Rhone and want to take it up a notch. Guy Farge took over the management of his family estate in 1980. Originally he sold his fruit to the Cave de Tain (where he worked) and then to Delas. In 2007, he began producing wines under his own label. Now working with his son Thomas, these are 25+ year old vines just outside the Saint-Joseph appellation on beautiful granitic soils. It is all hand-harvested and fermented with native yeasts and aged for 6 months in stainless steel to preserve the freshness of the Syrah.
