Ferrand 2022 Cotes du Rhone "La Ferrande" 750ml

The only wine to see a touch of used demi-muids, the 100% Syrah 2022 Côtes Du Rhône La Ferrande sports a deeper ruby/purple hue to go with beautiful aromatics of blackberries, peppery herbs, violets, and hints of smoky, meaty nuances. Medium to full-bodied, balanced, and layered, it's going to have a decade of longevity.
