2017 Hermitage Rouge “La Pierrelle”

Barruol / Lynch
Discount Eligible $99.00
SOLD OUT

Many say the small hill of Hermitage is the spot where Syrah reaches its absolute greatest heights, and some recent four-figure price tags of a few famous cuvées at auctions appear to reinforce that notion. Yet here is a wine that seems to not notice or care about any of that. Bold and mysterious, with a velvety texture and a certain rusticity, this wine seems to be of a different, bygone time, and above the fray of modern squabbles.

Chris Santini

Trust the great winemakers, trust the great vineyards. Your wine merchant might even be trustworthy. In the long run, that vintage strip may be the least important guide to quality on your bottle of wine.—Kermit Lynch
