Each time I drink this wine, I find more reasons I love it! This is a medium bodied wine with bright black fruits (black plums, blackberries) red fruits (red plum) soft savory notes, black pepper and toast. It is lively and well balanced and great on its own!

Love this producer, the '11 Crozes is ok. Perhaps it would have been better if the restaurant had stored it correctly.

Medium bodied. All the syrah notes are there. Nice elevage. Really pleasant to drink today.

2019 vintage. Just enough syrupy body without being cloyingly so. Big, herbaceous profile on the ole sniffer. Good punch and follow-through. Delicious.

2019 vintage. So easy to slip into. Great, first Crozes for those unfamiliar...no sharp edges and plenty of love.

Savory delicious #crozeshermitage Northern Rhône #syrah. Lightly smoked meat, black olive, earthy fruit compote on the nose. Lush concentration on the palate but laid back fruit plus black pepper; the expected firm tannins and a trailing finish. Yummy.
