Black olives, black cherries and a healthy dose of licorice appear on the nose of the 2019 Crozes Hermitage Signature.

The estate's main production, the 2018 Crozes Hermitage Signature matures in a mix of tanks and older barrels. It's a full-bodied, fruit-driven wine that marries notes of black olives with raspberries and cherries. Full-bodied, rich and velvety in texture, it's a solid, earthy red for drinking over the next 3-4 years.

The main Crozes cuvée, the 2017 Crozes Hermitage Signature ages in concrete. Cherries and dried spices include a whiff of pepper on the nose, while this medium-bodied wine is plump, round and mouthwatering on the silky-textured finish. It drinks well now, but it should have the stuffing to go 6-7 years.
