Clos Massotte 'Vie' 2014 Review

This natural Syrah-based blend manages to combine complexity with drinkability, giving off something new with every sniff. Dense blueberry fruit gives way to notes of violets, potting soil, black pepper, anise, and high-toned, rustic accents. Similar flavors dance off the tongue, acid-driven and entirely easy-drinking.
