Ferraton Pere et Fils, Hermitage Le Meal, 1999 outofstock-34467840057 Four miles from the PacificFrom the storied Hermitage appellation's warmest and most generous vineyard, this is 100% old vine Syrah grown on steep granite hillsides. A generous wine of remarkable depth, it shows dark fruit, powerful spice, herbal notes, and blackberry preserves. The 1999 vintage exemplifies Le Mal's power and complexity. Ferraton produces fewer than 200 cases annually, making this a true rarity that will continue evolving over 10 20+ years.
