"With aromas of black currant, raspberry, tobacco, and white pepper, this full-bodied wine shows flavors of blackberry, dark chocolate and spicy oak on the palate. Beautifully balanced with integrated tannins and a silky texture, this supple wine has a long, lingering finish. Pair with grilled meats, barbecued ribs and spicy sausage."

"Good dark red. Aromas of blueberry, crushed black raspberry, brown spices, smoked meat, mocha and cocoa; smells like a northern Rhone wine from granite soil. Firm and energetic in the mouth, offering a nice balance of fresh dark fruits and smoky minerality. Bright acidity and a note of black pepper give the palate a zesty quality. Finishes lightly saline, juicy and persistent, with spicy tannins." -Stephen Tanzer

"The 2010 Syrah Les Voisins is a gorgeous, juicy wine bursting with red cherries, plums, white flowers, licorice, herbs and spices. This is a beautiful entry-level wine to drink over the next few years, while the fruit is forward and expressive."
