"Coming from higher elevation parcels just outside CĂ´te-RĂ´tie, the 100% Syrah 2015 Valine is a juicy, ripe, straight up delicious Syrah. Deeply colored, with lots of blackberry, peppery herbs, and earthy aromas and flavors, this medium-bodied effort has good acidity, plenty of fruit and texture, and a good finish. Itâs a serious wine thatâs well worth drinking. It will keep for at least 4-6 years. These are the first releases Iâve tasted from vigneron Jean-Luc Jamet, who left the family estate in 2013."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
