This is a fantastic value red from the formidable team at J.L. Chave. Masters of the Rhône the "J.L. Chave Selection" wines are négociant bottlings made from purchased grapes along with fruit from younger Chave . In the case of the complex and powerful Silene, Syrah is sourced from hillside vineyards with beautiful gravel soils which yields a wine that balances the fruit-laden power of Syrah with the firm structure of wines grown on granite. Enjoy over the next 5-7 years.
