Domaine Clape’s eight hectares of stacked terrace vineyards, scattered across the Rhone Valley, grow on predominantly granitic soils; fruit is used to create Syrah-based wines in a traditional, classic style, full of full-bodied, spicy fruit and powerful structure. The 2013 vintage is concentrated and dark, with nuanced flavors of blue fruits and charcoal. Powerful tannic structure; lay down for five more years, though the bottle will age for decades.
