Starts off a bit stinky and reductive on the nose, but in the mouth it's fresh and fruity. An easy-drinking Crozes-Hermitage, bursting with cherries, brought into focus by some youthful tannins and crisp acids. Drink now-2012.

Toasty on the nose, accented by hints of peach, then turning honeyed and rich on the palate, with a slightly oily texture. Layers of velvety richness fill the mouth, with just enough acid to leave a lasting finish.

Nicely defined on the nose, with precise spice and herbal notes that add complexity to the crunchy red fruit flavors. Ripe tannins and an easy finish make for an approachable Hermitage that should be consumed on the young side. Drink now–2015.

Made solely of Marsanne, this is a lightly honeyed wine, redolent of almonds and apricots. Fresh, clean and easy, and while it might age, it's probably best consumed young.

Bottled only three weeks prior to review, this wine may have been suffering a little when it was tasted last May. There’s a bit of spice, but the wine just isn’t that expressive, showing crisp and tight, with some raw tannins on the finish. Seems to have potential, so hold five years or more before trying.

Boasts a blanket of cedary oak, but underneath is some nicely textured fruit that bears a resemblance to ripe black cherries. The wine is medium- to full-bodied, with hints of vanilla on the finish. Drink now–2012.
