Score | Name | Notes | $ |
+ | Betz La Côte Rousse Syrah 2006 | Surprisingly elusive on the nose with resin, a light smoked aroma, earth, and light fruit running underneath spice. A chalky feel to the tannins that lightens up and lingers. 575 cases produced. 14.5% alcohol. | $60 |
* | Betz La Serenne Syrah 2006 | A light nose with blueberry and cured meat. Stunningly evenly balanced and smooth with pleasantly restrained fruit and an almost creamy texture. A very long finish. 525 cases produced. 14.5% alcohol. | $60 |
