  • French Red Rhone Wine, Domaine Philippe & Vincent Jaboulet 2009 Crozes-Hermitage

    Domaine Philippe & Vincent Jaboulet
    2009 Crozes-Hermitage
     

    $22

    A good wine with good value, this is a great introduction to Syrahs from the southern part of Northern Rhône. Ready to drink now, it shows off the excellence of the 2009 vintage.

    • An inky, nearly opaque purple. The nose is evolving, offering animal scents, wet leaves, wet earth and a slightly rancio element, as well as meat, truffles, currants and other dark fruit. The palate suggests mocha, black raspberries, and blackberries, with violet emerging on the mid-palate. Well-integrated, with grippy tannins. Robust, expansive wine with a smooth texture that complements its massive frame. Approachable now but likely to drink well through 2024. Serve with roasts or smoked meats.

      Food pairing: Serve w/roasts or smoked meats

  • French Red Rhone Wine, Domaine Philippe & Vincent Jaboulet 2009 Crozes-Hermitage Nouvelère

    Domaine Philippe & Vincent Jaboulet
    2009 Crozes-Hermitage
    Nouvelère

    $29

    A play on the words nouvelle (new) and ère (era), this wine is actually sourced from the oldest vines on the Jaboulet domaine, including some once used to produce Paul Jaboulet Aîné’s most famous wines. A great introduction to Rhône Syrahs and a great value!

    • Intense black olive, dark chocolate, and dark fruit scents on the nose with mossy and briny notes developing as well. Full-bodied, with ripe blackberry and black currant flavors bursting onto the palate along with something suggestive of clay. Mouth coating, with a slightly waxy texture, well-integrated tannins, and a lengthy finish. Weighty, fleshy, and rich, with an intense concentration of fruit. Likely to be approachable from around 2016 and then drink well through around 2026 or beyond.

      Food pairing: try with a spicy beef kebab or roasted pork
