La Forge Estate 2007 Unfiltered Syrah (Vin de Pays d'Oc)
-
$13
A beautiful Syrah with aromas of black berries, menthol, pepper, cured meat, cigar box and leather. The medium-weight mouth has a satiny texture and is loaded with more black fruit along with coffee, cassis and cocoa flavors. The finish, powerful and oaky, is long and evolving, steering from dark fruit to more chocolate-covered cherry semblances.

La Forge Estate 1999 Syrah (Vin de Pays d'Oc)
-
$12
Veers toward the dark, earthy side of the Syrah spectrum, with aromas and flavors of black plum, cocoa, cinnamon, clove and black coffee. The sensation of dried spices and cocoa persists through the finish, where the tannins seem almost powdery on the tongue.
