Note di degustazione
The dark ruby/purple-tinged 2006 Hermitage, from Les Plantes, Les Greffieux, and Les Bessards vineyards, offers notes of framboise, cassis, olives, and lavender, medium to full body, and attractively sweet tannins. Made in a surprisingly up-front forward style for a Sorrel wine, it should drink well for 10-15 years. This is one of the most traditionally run domaines of the northern Rhone. For a number of years, Sorrel has been adding a white and red Crozes-Hermitage to his small portfolio. Importer: J.A.O. Imports, McLean, VA; www.jaowineimports.com

Bright ruby. Classic syrah aromas of cassis, black raspberry, violet, tobacco and smoked meat, with a suave undercurrent of tangy minerality. The palate offers fresh, sweet red and dark berry and baking spice flavors, a supple texture and fine-grained tannins. Finishes with repeating spice character and impressive clarity and length.
Bright red. Fresh red fruits on the nose, with smoky tobacco, herbs and dried flowers adding complexity. Tightly wound, mineral-drenched red berry and bitter cherry flavors soften with air, turning sweeter on the close. Tannins sneak up on the finish but don't distract from the impressively pure fruit. A wine of striking precision.
