Favia, Cerro Sur other_regions The 2016 Syrah Cailloux Vineyard

The 2016 Syrah Cailloux Vineyard is co-fermented with 4% Viognier in a Côte-Rôtie style that delivers a red and black-fruited nose with a floral grip and rustic rockiness

wrapped in a silky coat of ripe tannins

There is excellent volume here for its level and the finish is an interesting contrast with its velvety yet robust texture

As you can see by my note and score

This is a truly sumptuous wine that stands as a tall testament to the winemaking talents of Giampaolo Motta
