Shiraz/SyrahShiraz is more easy-going and artisan than cab, perhaps, but no less powerful at its best. In fact, shiraz gets even more dense when grown in places such as Australia or South Africa. In France, shiraz - or syrah - has been grown in the Rhone valley since Roman times, and many think it's the oldest deliberately cultivated wine grape of all. These wines - with names like St Joseph, Cote Rotie, and Hermitage - tend to be muscular inky/tarry, peppery, spicy offerings, with the New World giving more opulent, crowd-pleasing, plum jam-type wines, but neither should be taken lightly; they can be seriously potent and longlived. |

Dom St Cosme C D Rhone 2007 - France
Winery:
With a maceration of 40 days this is an intense, super-concentrated Cotes du Rhone, which has seen no oak at all but is still profoundly complex. A rich, full-bodied wine with layer upon layer of black fruit flavours, silky tannins and a depth that puts this humble Cotes du Rhone way above its status. Delusions of grandeur no doubt but what a wine it is. Organic.
