Mission Codename South of Lyon
This wine is a little shy, at first, and shows a short finish if you drink it upon opening. After the wine has had a chance to breathe, however, it really opens up and reveals more fruit and minerality.
Today’s 2010 Crozes Hermitage is a bright, rustic, terroir-driven Rhône with a fine structure, unique flavors on the palate and a clean finish. Pair this wine with a hard cheese plate, a grilled Portobello sandwich or a savory herbed pork.
Enjoy this 92 point wine now, or lay a few bottles down for the next few years.
