2023 Pierre Gonon Les Iles Feray Syrah

Other Reviews....
Notes of rose, dark cherries, orange peel and raspberry preface the 2023 VdP de l'Ardeche Les Iles Feray Syrah, a medium to full-bodied, seamless and enveloping wine with powdery tannins enhanced by a fresh mid-palate and saline finish that is beautifully balanced and ethereal. It tastes like the essence of Syrah. This is a co-fermented blend of 80% Marsanne and 20% Roussanne. Drink 2025-2032.

The 2023 Les Îles Féray l'Ardeche is delicious as it opens with intense dark cherry, peppery scents, crushed graphite and orange rind. Black-fruited and spicy, the medium-bodied 2023 shows well at this early stage, following through with notable freshness on the elegant finish. Drink 2026-2029.

The 2023 Vin De Pays reveals a bright, juicy, and elegant profile loaded with gamey red and black fruits, bouquet garni, and floral notes. Medium-bodied and seamless on the palate, it has beautiful balance and a delicious, approachable style.

A more herbal style than usual, with oregano and tomato stalk notes thanks to the 50% whole bunch. Light-bodied, refined, bright, snappy and drinkable. A crisp and vibrant vintage of this cuvée; highly smashable. Drink 2025-2029.
