Francois Villard L'Appel des Sereines Syrah IGP Collines Rhodaniennes, France 2019

A young vine Syrah from several villages Chavanay, Ardoix, Saint-Michel-sur-Rhône, and Verin, all with a decomposed granite soil. Twelve day maceration with twenty-five percent whole clusters in open-top wood tronconique vats followed by eleven months of aging, half in the vat and half in neutral barrels. A peppery and juicy Syrah that is an excellent match for lamb, steaks and burgers.
