Readers looking for more minerality and higher acids will enjoy the 2010 Crozes-Hermitage Blanc. Hints of orange rind, grapefruit, lemon zest and rose water are present in this medium-bodied, zesty wine. Sorrel produces two cuvees of white Hermitage, the basic 100% Marsanne from Les Greffieux, and the top cuvee called Les Rocoules, a more limited production offering.
