| Community Tasting Notes (average 93 pts. and median of 94 pts. in 10 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | Tasted by chanukha on 12/10/2022 & rated 92 points: Having vastly overpaid for the first two bottles, found third bottle for the avg going price so pounced for opportunity to see how horribly I did. Good acidity (maybe too much), which it had a little more fruit but was fresh and think it will certainly develop further. Hold for another 5 years. (699 views) | | Tasted by Brian of Mull on 2/17/2022 & rated 94 points: Coming back to this after a few years. Opened and decanted. Color is dark ruby. On the nose: Cassis, plum , iron and lots of pepper. On the palate: Cassis, plum , cherry, pepper, dry tannins and iron. This is young but getting there. I am upping my score quite a bit from 2 years ago. This is quite good and only 13% alcohol.

Truly a manly Hermitage, olives, stones, black fruit, chalky, a closed fist of concentration. This will be Grand Vin. 94+ point #DasWeinhaus#Trier (1361 views) | | Tasted by Jeff U on 4/4/2021: Excellent (798 views) | | Tasted by jmoon on 10/25/2020 & rated 91 points: Very enjoyable pop and pour. Lovely fresh texture, medium body, accessible now with red Fruits and some spice. Fruit fell out if the wine after an hour and she became tight and inaccessible. Don’t have enough experience to be sure but I suspect drink pop and pour when young else wait another 5 years after close down and enjoy more accessible fruit and classic structure. (838 views) | | Tasted by Brian of Mull on 10/3/2019 & rated 92 points: Too young but lots of promise. Sour cherry, currants, violets and spice. Very smooth. (780 views) | | Tasted by henrygjeffreys on 3/14/2017: floral nose, some stalkiness, bright red fruit Fresh with firm ripe tannin, mineral finish This is clearly going to be lovely. In fact you could almost drink it now. (1845 views) |

Note that some producers in the Northern Rhone distinguish between simply Syrah and "Serine", the latter described as ‘an ancient clone of Syrah, the berries of which are more oval-shaped and less deeply pigmented than Syrah’ by producer Tardieu-Laurent.

The Rhône Valley/Le Vins de la Vallée du Rhône (Comité Interprofession des vins AOC Côtes et vallée du Rhône)
Regional History: Phocaean Greeks established viticulture in the Rhone as far back as 600 BC, but until the 14th century the wines were not seen outside the region. The establishment of the Avignonese Papacy (1305-1377) brought fame to the region's wine-so much so that their Burgundian neighbors to the north banned wines from the Rhone in 1446, a measure that effectively cut off trade with England and other Northern European markets for over 200 years. Stretching southward from Lyon to just south of Avignon, the Rhone produces a wide variety of wines, with the appellations north of Valence producing the least (in volume), and the towns south of Montelimar producing prodigious amounts. As in other regions, the most interesting wines come from small farms. Saint-Joseph, in the northern Rhone, extends for some distance between Condrieu in the north to Saint-Peray in the south. The reds are made from Syrah and the rare whites from Marsanne and Roussanne, and Viognier.
### 2017 vintage ### "The first red wines already tasted in the Northern Rhône promise a beautiful vintage, with a quality close to the 2015 or even the 2009 vintage" - NEWRHÔNE MILLESIMESHermitage Guide to Hermitage wine Guide to Cote Rotie - Read about the Northern Rhone Valley
• The appellation stretches over 3 communes in the Drôme "département" : Tain-l'Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage and Larnage.
• The soils are a combination of granite with alluvial quaternary delta deposits, and, on the eastern side, Pliocene clay. This diversity explains the numerous different names given to vineyard plots within the appellation : Bessards, Greffieux, Méal, Roucoule, Beaumes, etc.
• The meso-climate provides shelter from the north winds, where the majority of the slopes is well exposed, facing south.
•The vineyards area adds up to 134 hectares/331 acres, with an annual production of 3,635 hectoliters. Authorized maximum yield is 40 hectoliters/hectare (2.3 US tons/acres).
• Grape varieties : Syrah (an addition of up to 15% of Marsanne or Roussanne is allowed).
