Pure and ripe, with a silky, creamy texture to the notes of violet, lavender and plum, plus a tug of sanguine energy alongside mesquite-smoked meat. Nails of graphite hold everything in place. Delicious and well-done. Drink now through 2029. 1,800 cases made, 600 cases imported.

Based on Syrah with smaller amounts of Grenache and Mourvèdre and aged 10 months in 10-year-old oak barrels, the 2023 Côtes Du Rhône Les Peyrouses comes from purchased fruit mostly from the northern part of the Southern Rhône. Beautiful Syrah character emerges in its red and black fruits, violets, ground pepper, and subtle bouquet garni-like nuances. It's medium-bodied, with a fresh, focused mouthfeel, supple tannins, and a good finish. This rock-solid Côtes du Rhône will offer ample pleasure over the coming 4-6 years. Drink 2026-2032.
