This Syrah hails from France, specifically from the renowned Northern Rhône Valley in the Saint-Joseph appellation. Francois Villard, initially a chef, turned to winemaking in the late 1980s and quickly gained acclaim for his meticulous vineyard work and expressive wines. His estate, established in Saint-Michel-sur-Rhône, is celebrated for its commitment to organic practices and showcasing the terroir of granite-rich hillsides. Wine Description The 2021 Seul En Scene is 100% Syrah. In the glass, it presents a deep ruby-purple hue. The nose opens with aromas of blackberries, cassis, violets, cracked pepper, and a subtle hint of smoked meats. On the palate, it is medium-bodied yet vibrant, offering layers of dark fruit, olive tapenade, and graphite. Fine-grained tannins and bright acidity give it a lively structure, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish. Accolades "Vinous - 93 points. " "Wine Advocate - 92 points. " Food Pairing Pair this Syrah with grilled lamb chops with rosemary, peppered steak, or a mushroom risotto. This pairing highlights the wine’s depth and character.
