TASTING NOTE: I loved the 2015 Luberon Versant Nord (80% Syrah and 20% Grenache) and this is a seriously good value for those that love cool climate Syrah. Its deep ruby/purple color is followed by classic notes of blackberries, blackcurrants, leather and pepper, and it hits the palate with medium-bodied richness and beautiful purity. Reminding me of a classy Crozes Hermitage, it's well worth checking out and should keep for 4-5 years. Drink Date: 2016-2021. Score - 90 (Jeb Dunnuck, robertparker.com, Dec. 30, 2016) Price $ 15.95
