This stunning syrah comes from a Fog Wine Shop favorite, Northern Rhone rockstar Matthieu Barret. We are consistently impressed with his ability to craft wines that are so true to place, delivering the classic hallmarks of his favored terroirs in an open, transparent, and light-footed style making them shine in their youth rather than needing a decade or more of cellaring. His 2024 Crozes-Hermitage seduces with saturated violet and lavender aromas and a palate showing the full array of classic northern Rhone syrah notes. Bright cranberry, blueberry, and blackberry freely mingle with fennel, black olive, and subtle bacon smoke. All of this is underscored by a tannin profile at once silken and earthy, with both lifted minerality and tarry depth. The expected brooding profundity is refreshed by a lively and playful character, ensuring this red truly has something for everyone.
Certified organic and biodynamic. No mechanical devices, all work done by hand or with horses. 100% syrah. Crozes-Hermitage, Rhone, France.
