Darnaud Crozes Hermitage Les Trois Chenes 2008
Nice irony raspberry with moderate spice. New movement of the young winemakers to take back Crozes from the big co-op and make wine that makes them proud to put Crozes on the label. His cellar is as big as our tasting room. "I think his wines are exceptionally good … we're committed to this guy."

Okay. Wouldn't buy again.
Expert Review
88 Points - "Deep ruby. Blackberry, spice cake and flowers on the nose. Then sweet and velvety in the mouth, with dark berry and cherry flavors that show a jammy quality. Soft tannins are buried in the fruit and add shape to the broad, pliant finish."

Food Pairings
Winged beasties with dark meat like duck, goose, squab, and griffins. Hooved game. Roasted meats.
