With extraordinary notes of blackberry, smoked game, cassis, graphite, charred meats, and spring flowers, it’s reminiscent of a top Cote Rotie from the Cote Blonde. With full-bodied richness, a beautiful, layered, multi-dimensional texture, ripe tannins, and integrated oak, it’s beautiful today yet will benefit from short-term cellaring and cruise for 15-20 years or more in cool cellars. This sensational wine will stand toe to toe with the best out there.\" -\u003cb\u003e Jeb Dunnuck (April 2020), 99 pts\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Force Majeure","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44949013987375,"sku":"W0EE509005SYL","price":76.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/force_majeure_syrah_hq_bottle_4d443cbc-c6a8-44f5-8b8c-8676dacfe59d.jpg?v=1771487481","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/force-majeure-estate-syrah-2017","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
