Domaine des Remizieres Cuvee Emilie Sirah 2017

94
Domaine des Remizieres
Fanciful Name: Cuvee Emilie
Varietal: Sirah
Vintage: 2017
Country of Origin: France
Appellation: Hermitage
Retail Price: $62.99

Tasting Notes: What a bargain-priced Hermitage is in comparison to most of its peers. The Cuvee Emilie has a beautiful violet perfume with smoky bacon fat notes as well. The inky syrah in this wine has a chalky, full-bodied mouthfeel, with dark blackberry kirsch and subtle white pepper notes. May be the value of the vintage for Northern Rhone.
