Bernard Ange Crozes Hermitage 2009

I had this wine with the failed "Bacon and Eggs" experiment, but it was only the food that failed, not the wine.

The wine was excellent - Bernard Ange Crozes Hermitage. It's 100% Syrah from the Northern Rhone. It had great black plum and blackberry fruit with great acidity. It's a puzzlement why more producers can't harness all that great fruit and yet make a lively wine. This one was peppery and bright, and I'll be happy to drink it again.
