St. Joseph 'Offerus' 2015 Jean Louis Chave



100% Syrah from the Northern Rhone, this wine showcases a classic bouquet of dark and blue fruits, meaty and peppery notes, purple flowers, and a quite distinctive black olive aroma.

Medium to full body, the wine has firm tannins and a pronounced freshness. The finish is quite persistent with lots of spicy notes and iron-like character coming through.

Certainly worth aging in bottle a while longer, it drinks well now.

Suggested pairing? Roasted lamb with dried herbs and a black olive tapenade.
