Grape

Syrah or Shiraz

Origin
The northern Rhône's biggest appellation, sufficiently similar to the great Hermitage to have earned the right to affix that name to it. Like Hermitage it is made from 100% Syrah.
Taste
This wine offers seductive plum-rich fruit with a twist of smoky spice on the finish.
Enjoy
Delicious with roast meats, game and casseroles.

    typical of best French dry syrah and delicious.

    Needed to breathe/warm up a bit but then showed smooth nature, lovely dryish character but plenty of fruit ; best served with food ; far better than new world syrah/shiraz types. It's £1.50 overpriced however when at non-offer price.

    well made , northern rhone pure syrah , very much in the aoc C-H style

    restrained , round tannins and enough acid structure to make this an excellent food friendly wine. not one for those whose pallets were trained on low acid high alcohol Aussie Wolf Blass.

Press Reviews

  • Has the feel of autumn about it (2009 Vintage)

    "The Cave de Tain is right up there with the best of France's co-operatives, consistently turning out high-quality Syrah at affordable prices both under its own labels and those of the supermarkets. This is no exception, offering a slice of savoury, peppery spice, smoke and liquorice, and some pure raspberry fruit in a supple and succulent package that has the feel of autumn about it. Rating: 88/100 (The Wine Gang, www.thewinegang.com November 2012)"
