Description: Jean-Luc Colombo has vineyards both in the northern Rhone and down south near Marseille and this very approachable 100% Syrah is made using fruit from each location. Not having been aged in oak this wine emphasises the bright primary fruit flavours that young Syrah vines can produce. On the nose there's a touch of violets and aromas of raspberries and wild strawberries which follow nicely on to the palate giving a nice fresh feel to it. There's just a hint of gentle tannins, but overall it has a very welcoming soft character.
