Crozes Hermitage is the largest of the appellations of the Northern Rhône, comprising just over 2500 acres planted to Syrah for red wine and Marsanne and Roussanne for white. The vineyards are largely on the plain, producing reasonably priced wines, but there are some excellent hillside vineyards which provide concentrated, long-lived wines. In general, the red wines have forthright Syrah flavors, spicy and persistent, with satisfying vigor and intensity of flavor in an appealingly rustic style.
"Textbook Crozes-Hermitage, this is fresh and full of sweet purple plum flavor played up by green olive accents. It feels perfectly ripe and Rhonish, with a saline minerality adding savor. For anything involving bacon, from a frisee salad to a larded filet of beef. "

"The dark ruby-hued 2007 Crozes-Hermitage reveals classic notes of tapenade/black olive intermixed with red and black currant fruit, decent acidity and a medium-bodied texture. It should continue to provide pleasure for another 3-4 years. "
