Muddled black plum, apricot skin and boysenberry aromas frolic on the nose accented by hibiscus and violet blossom. Prominent black fruit on the palate leans against red raspberry on the finish that slightly-grippy tannins enhance. Pair with a bacon cheeseburger, lamb chop and roasted eggplant. 

Muddled yellow apple, white nectarine and crystalline aromas of green pear are dusted with white blossom. The steely palate raises orchard fruit that lingers on the dried, lemon-zested finish. Pair with croque monsieur, twice-fried French fries and tapas. 

Blackberries, cassis, leather, and graphite notes all define the 2022 Hermitage Domaine Des Tourettes, a perfumed, complex, classic expression of Hermitage. With medium to full-bodied richness, tons of sweet fruit, ripe tannins, and a great finish, give it a few years. Drink 2026-2038.

Mostly from the Chassis region, with some from the northern part of the appellation, the 2022 Crozes-Hermitage Les Launes is charming and upfront, with perfumed red fruit, lavender, bouquet garni, and spicy, floral nuances. It's medium-bodied, forward, has supple tannins, and a great finish. Drink 2025-2035.

Coming from two different parcels in the appellation, the 2023 Condrieu La Galopine is medium gold-hued with classic Condrieu notes of ripe stone fruits, peach, and apricot fruits as well as a beautiful floral character. It's medium to full-bodied, has wonderful freshness, and a great sense of minerality on the finish. Drink 2025-2030.
