"Coming from a blend of two separate terroirs and brought up all in concrete, the 2022 Crozes-Hermitage Hauterives is a gorgeous Crozes that readers will love. Black raspberries, sappy spring flowers, violets, and peppery bouquet garni-like nuances (fresh thyme) all emerge on the nose, and it's medium-bodied, with a solid spine of acidity and finely polished tannins. This beauty will evolve nicely for 7-8 years, if not over a decade."
