The 2022 Domaine de Pierres Syrah from Betz showcases a glimmering bright ruby cherry core with a neon pink rim. It’s a more earthy and complex Syrah than some of its siblings boasting notes of crushed black peppercorn, liquid bacon fat, macerated boysenberries, black plum skin, toasted walnut shells, and toasted cedary herbs. Full-bodied and big across the mouthfeel, it sports plush tannins and medium levels of raw acidity. I adored the meaty finish that hits hard on the back of the palate. Better in 2025. Highly recommended.
