Wine Critic Reviews

Vinum Wine Magazine (91): On the nose, forest berries, rosehip, and pine needles. Also blood orange peel and ripe strawberries. On the palate, full of fruit with a touch of medicinal herbs. Supported by juicy acidity. Chalky minerality in the finish. Velvety tannins.

James Suckling (90): A peppery, crunchy and vivid Crozes-Hermitage with dark cherries, currants, tea leaves and some peppercorns on the nose. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and fresh acidity. Lovely forest berry character with a flavorful and mouthwatering finish. Drink now.
