2020 Cristia Collection Hermitage Rouge
Tasting Note
Crafted from 100% Syrah grapes grown in granitic soils and nurtured on 25-year-old vines, this wine undergoes a 16-month maturation in seasoned French oak barrels.
This Syrah enchants with beguiling aromas of rich dark fruits, cooking spices and even bacon. On the palate, it reveals a refined elegance and purity, complemented by a delightful length. It promises an exquisite evolution over the next 15 years and we would recommend decanting an hour or two before serving to fully appreciate its complexity.
It pairs exceptionally well with an assortment of mature cheeses, a herb-crusted rack of lamb, or roasted game birds.
