Ripe pineapple and honey notes mark the nose of the 2020 Hermitage Blanc Nobles Rives. Hints of pear appear in support, along with a touch of citrus zest. While full-bodied, it's not overdone or hugely rich, with a smooth, silky feel on the palate and a long finish. Like most white Hermitage, it may be consumed within its first few years or held a decade or more.
