Ferraton Pere & Fils, Calendes Crozes-Hermitage 2016

93 points Jeb Dunnuck
"It offers terrific notes of black raspberries, damp earth, pepper and graphite. These give way to a medium to full -bodied, plush, ripe and sexy red that has sweet, present tannin, moderate acidity and a great finish."

91 points Wine Advocate
“It’s medium to full-bodied, with concentrated blueberry fruit, supple tannins and tar and olive notes on the finish.”

91 points Wine Enthusiast
"Inviting notes of smoke and burnt sugar lend complexity to cassis and blackberry flavors in this wine. It's sumptuously ripe but anchored by a thrilling mineral midpalate. An immediately approachable but elegant Syrah, it offers fine, persistent tannins and a spicy, peppery finish."
