La Closerie du Pic 2016

The 2016 Pic Saint Loup La Closerie du Pic, a blend of Syrah and Grenache, features striking aromas of crushed stone to go along with the familiar cola and plum notes so typical of this estate's style. It's full-bodied and softly tannic but concentrated, with more freshness, energy and length than the entry-level wines. It should drink well for up to a decade. - Joe Czerwinski. 

The 2016 Saint-Drézéry La Closerie du Pic is a blend of 65% Grenache and 35% Syrah with the Grenache aged all in concrete tanks and the Syrah in new and once used French oak. This beauty offers killer notes of blueberries, blackberries, peppery herbs, earth, and graphite. Silky, full-bodied, with awesome purity of fruit, sweet tannin, and a great finish, it’s another great wine from this estate. It’s going to benefit from a year or two of bottle age and keep through 2026.
