Cave de Tain l'Hermitage
Les Hauts du Fief Crozes-Hermitage Syrah
Crozes-Hermitage, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Just a ridiculously good value. I really dig this co-op. Saturated in color, with air the nose reveals rich, oozing dark berries, smoky campfire ashes, savory cured beef, crushed stone. In the mouth, it’s intensely flavored but well balanced. savory, clingy, minerally (in the bloody sense), but with a nicely voluptuous mouthfeel, tannins abundant but very soft. Love it.

Jul 16th, 2024Well this is a nice surprise. Saturated color. Perfumed nose shows sweet tiny dark berries, iron, iodine, smoky gravel. In the mouth it’s relatively soft, lots of clingy flavors, including dry blackberry extract, iron, and crushed rock. Nice balance, extracted but not too much, some tannin still making itself known in the finish. Great value. Will certainly last nicely another couple of years.

Legit Crozes-Hermitage, collected old vines and hillside vineyards. None of that purple-pastille-drink here.

Very pleasant syrah, soft and aromatic on the nose with light finish
