Great effort from Eric Texier of the Rhone.A light-bodied syrah with earthy tones and
organic feel.This syrah will make you
forget about the syrupy sweet, alcoholic variety that is being pushed by big
winemakers nowadays.A pleasure to
drink, this syrah paired beautifully with a kurobuta bone-in pork chop and a
Hudson Valley duck breast. Add brussel
sprouts and new-eye potatoes to the combination duck and pork fat, and you've got yourself a Rhone valley feast fit for any average weeknight.
