Les Vins de Vienne, Hermitage Chirats Saint Christophe

Les Vins de Vienne, Hermitage Chirats Saint ChristopheVivid ruby. Blackberry, cassis, cola and vanilla on the nose and in the mouth. Broad and seamless, offering intense, focused dark fruit preserve flavors that pick up a spicy quality with air. Smoke and licorice note carry through a long, sappy, gently tannic finish. This wine is surprisingly approachable but has the depth to suggest that it will age nicely as well. Josh Raynolds

Medium + weight

grainy tannins and crisp acid

Savory at the end

To be clear

showing sharp focus and sneaky tannins on the long

So this is from the best barrels or rather the ones that go together best

A smoky mineral nuance drives the extremely long

It has 15% alcohol and a pH of 3

Drink now through 2035

" Bibi says

Mixes depth and energy with a deft hand

A more deeply pitched and slightly more complex nose offers up notes of dark pinot fruit
