Château de Fonsalette Côtes du Rhône Syrah is a Syrah red wine from the legendary Southern Rhône estate of Château Rayas. This rare 2000 release is a 100% Syrah bottling produced from a specific parcel of vines that performs exceptionally well on the cooler, clay-rich soils of the estate. The 2000 vintage provided a warm and consistent growing season, resulting in a wine of great richness and aromatic depth. It possesses a distinct profile of dark berries, tapenade, white pepper and truffles, delivered with the characteristic silky elegance and structural finesse found in all Rayas wines.

The amazing 1995 Chateau Fonsalette Cuvee Syrah should be cellared for 10-15 years. The wine is ferociously tannic, but, wow, what extraordinary intensity of flavor it possesses. With its viscous texture, and peppery, smoky, sweet cassis, and truffle-scented nose and flavors, this wine offers a sensational mouthful of brutally savage and intense Syrah grown in the southern Rhone. I suspect this wine will evolve for 30-40+ years.
