In Stock & Ready To Ship!

The 2022 Domaine des Amphores Syrah "Les Iris" is from vines in Chavanay, just outside the Saint-Joseph zone, tended organically since planting, in the early 90's, and now certified Biodynamic as well.

The wine shows a deep red/black colour with bright rim, with complex aromas of blackberry, black raspberry and blueberry, ripe and lush with hints of violet, black olive and licorice, but with nice freshness as well. The palate shows dense black fruits, plum skin, liquorice and smoke, deep but fresh and balanced at 13% alcohol. Terrific length of black and blue fruits, minerality and firm acidity - a beautiful wine at a great price!

Serve slightly chilled with grilled meats, chicken, lentil stew, or full-flavoured cheeses.
