Wild Pig Syrah 2006

Vin de Pays d'Oc, Languedoc, Sud de France, FranceThis 'shiraz' is actually syrah from the Languedoc area between the Rhône River and Carcassonne. Normally it has been quiet a feral offering but the '06 is an improvement showing less of that wild character. The guts red fruits with an earthy, spicy, licorice bent and good acidity. Needs food, grilled meats or cassoulet would do. Decent value. Tasted: 30 September 2007Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
