Product Overview
93 Points - Wine Spectator
"Ripe, showing black licorice and dark plum notes wrapped around each other. This stays vivid and racy in feel, with a lively floral note and swath of dark earth as backdrop on the finish. Drink now through 2030. 3,333 cases made, 218 cases imported." -JM, 12/15/21

"With yields cut 40% by hail, the 2019 Crozes Hermitage Domaine des Grands Chemins is a concentrated, rich and velvety effort that should prove reasonably long-lived. Purple raspberries, black olives and blackberries mingle easily on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied and finishes with terrific length. Tasted twice (once blind), with consistent notes." -JC, 1/20/22

"Energetic cherry, boysenberry and violet aromas are complemented by hints of black pepper and smoky minerals. Succulent and penetrating on the palate, offering lively, appealingly sweet black/blue fruit flavors and a violet pastille nuance that builds in the midpalate. In a forward, fruit-driven style, finishing with sharp delineation, harmonious tannins and solid, floral-driven persistence." -JR, Mar/2020

"Licks of char and mesquite lend a spicy, rugged countenance to flavors of black-cherry cola and cassis in this wine. Matured 14 months in a combination of stainless steel and seasoned Burgundy barrels, it's a fleshy, rounded Syrah kissed with vanilla and silky, easy tannins. Immediately enjoyable, the wine will maintain peak through 2027. " -ALCI, 3/1/22
