Note di degustazione
The medium-bodied 2008 Ermitage Les Dionnieres reveals notes of black cherries, crushed rocks, raspberries and red as well as black fruits. There is no noticeable oak in this medium-bodied, elegant, Burgundian-styled 2008. Drink it over the next 7-8 years. Ferraton’s parent company, Chapoutier, has done an excellent job in St.-Peray working with Marsanne and Roussanne. This long-forgotten appellation may turn out to be the Northern Rhone’s white wine answer to Burgundy’s Chablis. As for the 2009 red wines, this is the best portfolio of dry red wines Ferraton has yet produced. Importer: A French Paradox, Peoria, IL; tel. (309) 682-8994

Vivid ruby. Exotic, floral-accented black raspberry and cherry on the nose. Lush and creamy on entry, then firmer and spicier in the middle, offering mineral-tinged flavors of red and dark berries. Refreshingly brisk and energetic on the finish, which features notes of star anise and cracked pepper.
Ruby-red. Highly aromatic scents of red and dark berries, smoky Indian spices and black olive. Lush, gently sweet black raspberry and mulberry flavors are open-knit and free of rough edges. A zesty mineral note adds vivacity to the long, juicy, appealingly sweet finish. This will drink well young.
