The tasting notes for this wine describe it in the following manner: Game, dried rose petal, new leather, clove and cool menthol aromas slowly take shape on this linear red. Reflecting the nose, the juicy, savory palate displays an earthy elegance, doling out raspberry compote, black cherry, cinnamon and a hint of cured meat while taut, noble tannins and vibrant acidity keep it balanced.

Crozes-Hermitage produces primarily red wines, with Syrah the only red grape permitted under appellation rules. The tasting notes by wine enthusiast Robert Parker describe the wine as "Violets accent blackberries and plums on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, lush and velvety, underscored by doses of salinity and licorice on the lengthy finish.
