Domaine de l'Echevin Cotes du Rhone Villages St Maurice 2016 750ml

Domaine de l’Echevin produces Syrah dominated wine from the small Saint Maurice appellation in the Southern Rhône.  The vineyard is organically farmed and sits on a plateau at over 300 meters in elevation, exposing the vines to strong winds.  The grapes are all hand harvested, and they move through the winery on an entirely gravity-fed system. Each parcel is vinified separately, and the resulting wine spends 12 months in a combination of barriques and demi-muids.

Wine Advocate Review:
Now that it's in bottle, the 2016 Cotes du Rhone Villages Saint Maurice is looking as good as I hoped it would last year. A blend of 80% Syrah and 20% Grenache, it's loaded with dark fruit, cola and spice. Medium to full-bodied, with a silky-creamy texture, it finishes long and fine.
