2020 Crozes Hermitage “Goutay”
Barruol / Lynch

There is a lot of wine in this wine! So much that it's a wonder they were able to fit it all in there. If I were allowed to say something as ridiculous as candied brambles on a bed of freshly fallen leaves, I might...but I'm not, so I won't. A more sophisticated take is something like, rich and powerful black and blue fruit accompanied by bacon fat, licorice, and herbs. Either way, it is delicious all the same.

2020 Côte-Rôtie “Emporium”
France | Northern Rhône
The “Emporium” is sourced exclusively from the Fourvier lieu-dit and sees about a year more in demi-muid and barrel than his standard Côte-Rôtie.

2020 Côte Rôtie “Les Roses”
France | Northern Rhône
The magic of great Côte Rôtie does not come from its reputation for being a big, bombastic wine.

2020 Côte Rôtie “Fongeant”
France | Northern Rhône
This cuvée is sourced exclusively from the Fongeant lieu-dit, which sits right on the border of the Côte Blonde and Côte Brune, and is renowned for sharing the best of both: tannins and structure from the Brune side, with silky, floral elegance provided by the Blonde.

2020 Crozes Hermitage “Tiercerolles”
France | Northern Rhône
This juicy, blueberry-and-leather-infused Syrah with a long finish is ready to drink tonight.

2020 Hermitage Rouge “La Pierrelle”
France | Northern Rhône
Elegance and restraint from one of the hill’s lesser-known terroirs.

2018 Côte Rôtie “La Boisselée”
France | Northern Rhône
This is everything I love in a great northern Rhône Syrah. Aromas of violet and smoke are intensified with the luxuriously full and stony finish.

France | Northern Rhône
This beauty is brimming and bursting with deep dark flavors of black olive, blackberry and a hint of white pepper.

France | Northern Rhône
From vines that are more than eighty years old comes this Marsanne with magnificent floral, pit fruit, and bitter notes.

2020 Crozes Hermitage “Gervans”
France | Northern Rhône
Full of finesse, it opens into black cherry fruits and plentiful violet, soft leather notes playing around the edges.

France | Northern Rhône
Made from vines planted between 1937 and 1976, this cuvée showcases impressive depth and soul.

Living wines have ups and downs just as people do, periods of glory and dog days, too. If wine did not remind me of real life, I would not care about it so much.
