PRODUCT OVERVIEW/REVIEWS:
Ferraton Père et Fils is a fourth-generation estate currently operated by Samuel Ferraton, who cut his teeth working for renowned Rhône winemaker Michel Chapoutier. Michel purchased the Ferraton estate in 2004 and since then has worked with Samuel to convert the property to organic and biodynamic viticulture. Their partnership has resulted in an overall increase in quality; the entire portfolio of Ferraton wines is an impressive display of modern craftsmanship and Old-World reverence for terroir. 

Crafted from 100% syrah and aged on French oak for 12 months, the 2020 "La Matinière" is a full-bodied wine resplendent with aromas and flavors of black cherries and black raspberries entwined with notes of brambly earth and savory herbs. Firm yet pliant tannins provide structure while maintaining a silky-smooth mouthfeel and a lingering finish.

93 points, Decanter:
"A beautifully aromatic syrah with wild herbs, wild violets, and white pepper lifted by bright cranberry and blood orange notes. The palate is embued with elegance, tart cranberries, spicy notes of blood orange, and ripe strawberries mingled with balsamic, smoky soy, and sea salt. The texture is silken, as though notes of the wild French countryside are dressed in formal wear. A superb syrah with food-friendly acidity. At under $30, this wine over-delivers."

"Readers looking for a great introduction to Northern Rhône syrah will love the 2020 Crozes-Hermitage La Matinière, which comes from a mix of terroirs...Crazily complex notes of red and blue fruits, flowers, and ground pepper nuances give way to a medium-bodied, juicy, elegant Crozes that's perfect for enjoying over the coming 4-6 years or so."
