2014 Côtes-du-Rhône “Sierra du Sud”
Domaine Gramenon
Their sole Syrah bottling is made from low yields of hand-harvested grapes that see a wild fermentation and seven-month élevage in a combination of tanks and old barrels. True to the Gramenon house style, it is silky, aromatic, and full of local flavor: lavender, black olive, and ripe blackberry. –Anthony Lynch

A good doctor prescribed the wine of Nuits-Saint-Georges to the Sun King, Louis XIV, when he suffered an unknown maladie. When the king’s health was restored the tasty remedy enjoyed a vogue at court. Lord, send me a doctor like that!
