Wine Spectator
Refined and silky in feel despite the heft of the plum, blackberry and black cherry fruit core, featuring a racy iron note and long echoes of white pepper and tobacco on the finish. Drink now through 2018.

Wine Enthusiast
Meaty notes of charcuterie and leather juxtapose sun-kissed blackberry and cherry in this easy-drinking Syrah. While ripe and richly extracted, it has fresh acidity and a kick of peppery spice to lend balance. Fine-grained tannins lengthen the finish. Drink now through 2024.

COMMENTARY: Finding top-flight Syrahs at reasonable prices is getting harder and harder. Fortunately, the 2014 Maison Nicolas Perrin Crozes-Hermitage came along. TASTING NOTES: This wine shows a delicious Old World spin. Its aromas of savory spices, dried earth, and black fruit should pair it well with slowly-braised beef dishes.

The story of Maison Nicolas Perrin is that of two families who come from the two opposite ends of the Rhone valley, North and South.
In the North, Nicolas Jaboulet, who grew up on the hillsides of Hermitage, and the Perrin fmaily who has been in the southern Rhone, primarily in the prestigious appellation of Chateauneuf du pape, since the beginning of the 20th century.
This geographical reunion finds its meaning in the phrase "Axis Mundi." These latin words stand for the 4 cardinal points and symbolize the Cotes de Rhone region divided between the Northern (Septentrional) and the Southern (Meridional) appellations and right and left banks of the Rhone river.
