Made even less regularly than the L’Ermitage Brut (the last vintage was 2015), the outstanding 2019 Brut Rose L'Ermitage spent five years on the yeast. It exudes fresh-picked strawberries and summer peach along a seamless, crisp, and lengthy continuum that is complex and layered without ever being heavy. A nearly 50-50 split of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, it includes 4.5% reserve red wine, which adds body and color. Soft and undulating in medium-bodied girth on the midpalate, there are hints of fresh herb, rose, and a creaminess to the finish that feels as though it could go on for days. Continue to enjoy through 2039.

Generous notes of grilled peach, dried pineapple and lemon cream are backed by firm acidity. Shows details of salted Marcona almond, tarragon and lemon verbena on a frame that’s smooth and juicy. Drink now.

An intense style, with a firm and juicy thread of Meyer lemon and Asian pear flavors that are crunchy and mouthwatering, balanced by fresh ginger, Honeycrisp apple, lime zest and citrus blossoms, along with notes of lemongrass and lemon verbena. Really sings on the long finish. Drink now.

Pure and succulent, with fleshy peach, apricot and melon notes highlighted by vibrant acidity. Accents of apple pastry, pineapple and Himalayan sea salt linger, as do lemon verbena and sweetgrass aromatics. Drink now.

A well-cut white, with touches of mountain herbs lending a savory edge to flavors of crunchy white peach, pineapple, blanched almond and graphite. Finely balanced and elegant, with a lasting, mouthwatering finish. Drink now through 2032.
