The 100% Syrah 1999 Vin de Pays is a rustic effort loaded with black fruit, glycerin, and low tannin. While it will never be complex, it should be long-lived given its intensity and richness. Yet this VDP is best consumed during its exuberant, robust youthfulness. It offers plenty of spicy, peppery, cherry-flavored fruit. Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel.
