An elegant northern Rhône Syrah from the acclaimed Philippe & Vincent Jaboulet estate. The 2006 Crozes-Hermitage Nouvelle Ère captures the essence of the vintage — ripe blackberry, cracked pepper, and violets weave through a supple, medium-bodied palate. Subtle oak aging adds notes of cocoa and spice, while fine-grained tannins give a graceful, lingering finish. A refined, collectible red that bridges classic Rhône structure with modern finesse.
