2014 Crozes Hermitage “Tiercerolles”

Louis Barruol
Discount Eligible $35.00
SOLD OUT
At its best, fine Crozes can show similarities with the great wines of Hermitage, offering excellent value for a terrific expression of Syrah. Terroir is key: originally a small denomination designating quality vineyards around the hill of Hermitage, Crozes underwent considerable expansion to accommodate for a greater surface area of flatter, less remarkable land. This cuvée of Crozes, crafted by northern Rhône expert Louis Barruol and blended by Kermit for your enjoyment, is sourced from the appellation’s rare hillsides, and it tastes like it. The exposure allows for good ripening, giving those classic aromas of black fruit along with roasted spices and game. The soil (granite, rather than the less desirable clay found in the flatlands) provides a serious backbone chew on that tannin! A Crozes like this could certainly pass for good Hermitage, with one distinction: it is ready to drink today. No need to wait—fire up the grill and pull that cork!. –Anthony Lynch
