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
