Sainte Anne 2020 Saint-Gervais Cdrv
The Syrah dominant blend gives off blue and black fruit characters with a slight peppery note. There are no barrels used in the winemaking so the wine presents very fresh, opulent fruit. The fruit is warmer and juicier than a St-Joseph or other equivalent wine from the north but without losing the necessary acidity to carry it through. The 2020 is memorable for its fresh acidity despite intense summer heat.
