"Syrah is one of the great and most under-rated red grapes on the planet. Michel Chapoutier has long been a giant in the Rhône Valley, and the selections from the hill of Hermitage (the ancestral home of Syrah, planted by the returned-crusader Gaspard de Stérimberg in the 13th century!) are some of the most beautiful and long-lived examples to be found. 1990 was a stunning vintage and this wine is going to taste like blackberries, peppered beef-jerky, and violets. Just ready for the holiday table." - Master Sommelier David Keck
