Dumien-Serrette Cornas Henri 2020
$83
Concentrated and polished, with waves of pure fruit -- red currant, blackberry, damson plum -- melding seamlessly with roasted thyme, bay leaf and hoisin sauce. Reveals sweet wood spice and toasted alder accents, which are well-matched by the power of the fruit expression and the overall energy. Drinking beautifully now, but those with the patience to cellar this will be rewarded. Best from 2025 through 2035. 50 cases made, 25 cases imported.

Grape
Syrah / Shiraz
This dark-skinned red grape most likely originated in France's Rhône Valley, which is still considered its most famous home. Syrah is the sole grape in the reds of the Northern Rhône Valley, but it's also a blending partner in Southern Rhône appellations, including Châteauneuf-du-Pape, where it adds structure and body to Grenache-based wines. The grape was brought to Australia in the 19th century, and is better-known there as Shiraz, which it's also sometimes called in South Africa.
