| Notes | "The 2015 Crozes Hermitage looks outstanding based on this sample. It boasts scents of crushed stone, black currants and blueberries, ample body and weight in the mouth and a velvety texture." (Wine Advocate) "Black cherries, blueberries, peppery herbs, black olive and lots of rocky minerality all flow to a rich, beautifully concentrated, full-bodied Crozes that has terrific purity, a stacked mid-palate, and ripe, present tannin." (Jeb Dunnuck) | |||
Additional Notes "Savory Crozes, this smells like high summer—the scent of warm stones and dried grass mingled with honeysuckle and jasmine. It has marsanne’s characteristic waxy, broad texture, with a little nuttiness from a splash of roussanne in the blend. One part aged in stainless-steel tanks on the lees, the other in second-use barrels, it feels firm and well upholstered but not at all showy, lasting with a mouthwatering salinity."
