Decanter World Wine Awards 2007- International Rhone Blend Under £10 Trophy Winner Nathalie & Co. Syrah Carignan 2006 Sweet red fruit. Ripe, red berry fruit with hints of spice, firm tannins and a wild berry edge. Balanced with lifting acidity. Co-op £5.99 This is currently reduced in my local Co-op to £4.49 although it was the ’05. It might be a good idea to grab a couple of bottles before someone at Co-op head office twigs and sends out an email advising store managers to increase the price. I will try it tonight before I go back for more. |

I opened this last night, lighter than I was expecting although flavours were quite intense, bright, very ripe but dry, some burnt notes on the nose, oily but white oil if possibly, like wd40, sounds dreadful I know but was nice in an unusual way, I can see why the judges singled it out. Not for me. |

the characters you do not like might come from the carbonic maceration technic, used on some of the grapes. But if you have the opportunity to try the 2006 (the one that has been awarded by Decanter) please do so (should be at the coop later this year), it is made a bit differently and some of the wine has been fermented in oak barrels. I am trying to make something quite typical from the south of France, less common than most new world wines!
