Introduction:
The 2022 Cave Saint-Désirat Syrah Vin de Pays de l'Ardèche is a vibrant and approachable expression of Syrah from the Rhône Valley. Showcasing the grape’s signature dark fruit, spice, and floral notes, this wine balances freshness with depth, making it an excellent everyday Rhône Syrah.

Terrior:
Sourced from the rolling hills of the Ardèche in the northern Rhône, the vineyards benefit from a mix of granite and clay-limestone soils. The region’s continental climate, with warm days and cool nights, helps preserve acidity and enhances aromatic intensity.

Appearance:
Deep purple with violet highlights, indicating youth and vibrancy.

Nose:
Aromas of black cherry, blackberry, and plum, accented by notes of black pepper, violet, and a touch of smoky earth.

Palate:
Medium-bodied with soft tannins and refreshing acidity. Flavors of ripe dark fruit, cassis, and blueberry are complemented by hints of spice, dried herbs, and a subtle minerality. A smooth texture makes this Syrah highly drinkable.

Finish:
Moderate in length, with lingering fruit, spice, and a touch of floral elegance.

Overall Impression:
A well-balanced and fruit-forward Syrah that captures the charm of the Ardèche. This wine is perfect for casual sipping or pairing with grilled meats, charcuterie, and hearty vegetable dishes.
