A drive by ‘gift’ from a neighbor along with the decanter as we picnicked at Sunset from home. This bottle, to start off, is built like a tank & is the heaviest bottle of any wine I’ve ever drunk, ever. The wine, incidentally, is to my tastes of the more modern thrust in Rioja, which is to say more wood and big- 14.5% in fact. Still quite light & balanced though. T Edwards Importer — 2 months ago

Don’t think these guys can make a bad wine. Easy drinker served chilled. Underripe red fruit, spice, very pretty nose. ~12% abv. Love to see it — 4 months ago

2018 Domaine de l'Ermitage "Victor" Costières de Nîmes Blanc

Price: $9.99
Costières de Nîmes is at the southernmost part of the Rhône Valley, on the opposite bank from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. One of our best new finds is Château de l'Ermitage, which produces three terrific values with immanent drinkability. The estate's history traces back to the 12th century when the winery produced wine for the pilgrims of St-Jacques de Compostelle who were traveling the Santiago de Compostela. The property is now owned by the Castillon family, and today Michel and his son Jerome manage the vineyards and winemaking. The "Victor" is named for the first member of the Castillon family to own the property. The blend is 60% Roussanne, 30% Grenache Blanc, and 10% Viognier. The soil consists of large pebbles from the Durance river which long predates the Rhône and vines average 20 years. Expect a richer palate from the Grenache Blanc and Roussanne, with lovely aromatics from the Viognier. The winery is certified Terra Vitis (sustainable).

Clear hint of cabi and smooth, mature tannins. Multi-dimensional aromas and fits with unbeliavable different types of food. Quality match the price very well. — 2 months ago

I believe this was my first wine when I visited Santiago. It made me fall in love with Sauvignon Blanc. It’s all about the barrels. — 3 months ago

Unfiltered skin-contact blend of Moscatel (Muscat of Alexandria), Corinto (Chasselas), and Semillon from very old vines in the Bio-Bio region, about 300 miles south of Santiago. Honey color. Smoky and savory (smells like mezcal). Herbal notes, chamomile, orange rind, green olives, salt. Weird and wonderful. — 7 months ago
