"A driven, balanced , flavorful, textural and lively Crozes-Hermitage, showing aromas of dark cherries, spiced plums, wild herbs and warm spices. It's medium-bodied with fine tannins. Superb texture and balance here with a long, succulent and vivid finish. Drink or hold."

"Fermented with 100% whole clusters, the 2023 Crozes-Hermitage displays ripe red fruit tones, stemmy touches and pencil shaving, licorice and cedar aromas. Medium- to full-bodied and fresh, the 2023 is shaping up to be a delicious red Crozes-Hermitage. A long, defined finish wraps it up."

"An old-school style, offering animal, leather and forest floor notes layered with a burst of fresh plum. Shows freshness and drive, with camphor, salty iodine and iron minerality stretching out on the medium-bodied finish. Drink now through 2030. 5,000 cases made, 1,000 cases imported."
