E. Guigal Crozes Hermitage 2016 Color:Red spiced oak and raisined fruitCrozes Hermitage can be considered the gateway to the red and white wines of the Northern Rhne Valley. The reds, which are the majority of production, have wonderful warm flavors of red and black fruit, and typical Syrah pepper, spice and savory notes. Tangy acidity encircles this wines rich, creamy lemon flavors, highlighting the purity of the fruit. Estate grown, its simultaneously rich and light, a firm, elegant, savory white for roast scallops.
