2006 Michel & Stéphane Ogier Syrah Vin de Pays des Collines Rhodaniennes La Rosine - France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Vin de Pays des Collines Rhodaniennes (1/21/2010)
Opens a little sulfury, med-full bodied, medium dark garnet in color; darker red fruits on the palate, with strawberry/raspberry overtones, fair amount of acidity, which provides the structure of this wine, more so than tannins. Probably needs a bit more air than the hour or so this has had to shed its sulfur, which contributes some coffee notes on the palate. Overall a nice mid-week wine. In many ways this reminds me of the Copain Tous Ensemble Syrah, which can be had for a lower price. I got this at a good price, around $20, which makes it well worth it, but this wine is usually on the shelf for $30+, a little high for what’s in the bottle. (89 pts.)
