A warming Northern Rhône Syrah packed with a sleek concentration of dark fruit - a finely crafted, voluptuous offering from top producer Christine Vernay.
The 'Sainte-Agathe' Côtes du Rhône from Domaine Georges Vernay hails from a parcel of vines that border Côte Rôtie - a rare example of a Côtes du Rhône wine produced in the North of the region (95% of Côtes du Rhône is produced on the plains of the South), and should age well for up to a decade. It is excellent with roast veal or hard cheeses.
David Williams - The Observer, 20th April 2013 says:...this isn't any ordinary Côtes du Rhône: a stylish Syrah made with extreme care by a producer better known for its viognier, it has the supple tannins, hedgerow fruit, and umami-meatiness and pepper that would cost much more from a more celebrated appellation.

Wine Spectator - www.winespectator.com says:This takes a different approach from the pack, with cool plum, black tea, shiso leaf and herb flavors gliding along silky tannins. A perfumy black tea note echoes through the finish." Drink now 89/100.
