Even better, and again, a superb value that competes with wines two to three time its price, the 2011 Syrah l’Ame Soeur IGP is comprised of 100% Syrah that comes from schist soils, north of Ampuis, that are very similar to what’s found in the northern part of Cote Rotie (although the schist in this more northern region is a lighter gold color). This region will most likely receive its own appellation in the near future. Elegant and finesse-driven, with hints of crushed flowers, olive, underbrush and copious red and black fruits, this medium to full-bodied beauty has fine tannin, a seamless texture and ample length on the finish. It can be consumed now, or cellared for upwards of a decade.
Vinous: 92 Points
Inky purple. Seductive cherry-cola and black raspberry aromas, with a bright mineral component adding vibrancy. Sappy, Expansive and suave, offering intense dark fruit liqueur flavors bolstered by juicy acidity. Behaves a lot like a ripe pinot noir, favoring finesse over power and finishing with excellent clarity and persistence. This appears to be an outstanding wine in the making.
