Description
96-98 Crème de cassis and blackberry aromas sufficient to fill the room emerge on the nose of Sorrel’s 2017 Hermitage Le Greal. Full-bodied, rich, and supple, this is a lush, creamy wine that shows incredible intensity of flavor without excess weight. Underneath all of that plush fruit is a stony core of structure and myriad spicy complexities that should sustain it for decades to come.

Varietal
Syrah
Known as Syrah in most countries around the world, and Shiraz in Australia and certain other regions of the New World, this grape varietal has proven over the centuries to be one of the most powerful and flavorful red wine grapes there is. It is now one of the planet’s most widely grown grapes, and is a favorite with wineries as a result of its robustness and versatility. It isn’t easy to identify many characteristics of this particular varietal, due to the fact that it is highly versatile and shows significant differences in flavor and character depending on the terroir it is grown in, and the climatic conditions of the region. However, Syrah is most widely associated with full bodied, strong and loud red wines, packed full of fruity and spicy flavors, held in a beautifully deep red liquid.
