Crozes-Hermitage Rouge, Entrefaux

Lively, with lots of white pepper and bay notes out front, followed by a solid core of plum skin and cherry preserves. White pepper details take an encore on the finish, lingering nicely.

The Tardy family farm twenty-one hectares of syrah on the pebbly limestone terrace of ‘les Chassis’, one of the best parcels in Crozes-Hermitage; their wines earned organic certification in 2012.
