What it tastes like.

100% Syrah from vines planted in 1996, 100% de-stemmed and fermented in stainless steel tanks. An early drinking style driven by perfumed black raspberry fruit with anise and spice notes lingering long on the fresh and vibrant finish. A medium bodied Syrah, that is great all year round.

β€˜Brilliant magenta. Spice-accented red and dark berries and fresh flowers on the incisive nose. Offers gently sweet black raspberry and cherry flavors show fine clarity and pick up a succulent herb nuance with aeration. Displays spicy lift and cut on the gently tannic, persistent finish, which features resonating red fruit and spice notes. Drink 2024-2030.’ 91 points, Josh Raynolds, Vinous, December 2022.

Nose

Dark cherry, white pepper, violet, soft bacon and dried herb

Palate

Bottle questions

Before you open it.

A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.

How should I store it before opening?

Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.

How long will it keep once opened?

Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.

Can I ask for a similar bottle?

Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.

How is it packed for delivery?

Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.

What about hot weather shipping?

The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.

Why Caravan backs Domaine Gilles Robin

RhΓ΄ne

Gilles Robin set up the estate in 1996, having previously farmed his parcels for the local cooperative. The vineyard covers around 18 hectares around Mercurol, on the southern flat-land section of Crozes-Hermitage β€” the larger of the two appellation zones, on clay-limestone alluvium rather than the granite of the Hermitage hill itself.
