Given the three terroirs from the Hermitage hill this wine comes from, it is easy to understand this wine's friendly nature. A straight-forward and powerful syrah, these grapes are rooted in rich, white clay and sandy soils, and access to an all you can take supply of sun. The wine has the volume turned up on flavor, fruit, tannin and power but still remains approachable at a very young age. If you have the patience to wait it out in your cellar for more than a decade, the more refined Hermitage qualities emerge. Once you wade your way through the obvious character of this beast, pencil lead, iron, spice, green forest, wild berries and fresh acidity adorn this wine built for a king or a queen, like you.

The 2013 Hermitage comes from the Maison Blanche, Beaumes and Peleat lieux-dits. It was raised all in barrel (20% new) and has a classic feel to its medium to full-body, juicy acidity and firm tannin. Giving up lots of peppery herbs, crushed rock and assorted cassis and blackberry fruit, it has outstanding potential, but will require short-term cellaring.
