Domaine du Colombier Crozes-Hermitage Rouge 2018
This medium-bodied Crozes-Hermitage Rouge derives from vines that are nearly 35 years of age. The palate is fresh with dark fruit, yet earthy and charmingly rustic in nature. Notes of spice and graphite emerge, compliments of its aging habitat—a combination of cement and barrel.

Reviews
Wine Enthusiast – “This bold, juicy Syrah opens on streaks of blueberry jam and sweetly spiced blackberry compote. While fresh and forward in fruit profile, it’s grounded by an earthen, tarry undertow of minerality and a fringe of fine-grained, penetrating tannins. It’s ready now but should hold through 2026.” (91 Pts)
