Ferraton Pere et Fils 1999 Le Méal Syrah (Hermitage)

Editors' Choice

Price $80

This is a great, generous wine, packed with dark fruit and tannins. It comes from a well-drained vineyard on the slopes of the hill of Hermitage. There’s dry tannins, but they are overwhelmed by the huge spice, herbal, and blackberry jelly flavors. It should age well over 10-20 years. — R.V. (2/1/2005)

Ferraton Pere et Fils 2000 Les Dionnières Syrah (Hermitage)

Price $76

A powerful, dark and tannic wine which reflects the power of this wine from 30-year old vines. It has great intense fruits, with some austerity at this young stage, but will ripen and richen over the next 5 years. Ferraton is partly owned by Chapoutier, and affect to call their Crozes-Hermitage and Hermitage by the older spelling of Ermitage. — R.V. (2/1/2005)

Ferraton Pere et Fils 2007 L'Eglantine Syrah (Côte Rôtie)

Price $85

A textbook example of the flavors one expects to find in Côte Rôtie, laden with hints of smoke, bacon, herbs and green olives, all framed by silky tannins and a delicate structure. The finish is long and mouthwatering. It’s drinking well now, but shows the balance to age through at least 2017. — J.C. (10/1/2011)

Ferraton Pere et Fils 2007 Les Miaux Syrah (Hermitage)

Price $80

Under the same ownership as Chapoutier, Ferraton has turned out an elegant 2007 Hermitage, one that is red fruited, but with dark overtones of chocolate, espresso and black olive. It’s medium to full in body, with ample tannins, but they’re silky in texture, making this Hermitage one that is approachable young. Drink now–2020. — J.C. (10/1/2011)

Ferraton Pere et Fils 2001 Le Grand Courtil Syrah (Crozes-Hermitage)

Price $23

Ferraton is partly owned by Chapoutier, and affect to call their Crozes-Hermitage and Hermitage by the older spelling of Ermitage. But the important thing is the wine, and this Crozes is deliciously accessible with good acidity and some dry, but juicy fruit. The tannins and the wood play a good balancing role. — R.V. (2/1/2005)

points

Ferraton Pere et Fils 2009 La Source Syrah (Saint-Joseph)

Price $21

Ripe black cherries with a hint of garrigue mark the nose of this attractively plump red from Ferraton. The fruit dominates, but there’s just enough savory complexity to make it interesting, with a firm yet silky finish. Drink now–2017. — J.C. (10/1/2011)

Honey and apricot aromas make this wine immediately enticing. This blend of Marsanne and Roussanne is rich, full-bodied with attractive honey flavors. There are creamy layers from the wood fermentation and 10 month aging on lees. It’s fat, food friendly and ready to drink. — R.V. (2/1/2005)
