The 2012 Crozes Hermitage Clos des Grives shows a night and day different style than the 2013 and is upfront, ripe, exuberant and sexy, with medium to full-bodied notes of black raspberries, violets, flowers and spice. As with a number of these wines, it has a whiff of detracting volatile acidity, yet remains a terrific drink.
Known as Syrah in most countries around the world, and Shiraz in Australia and certain other regions of the New World, this grape varietal has proven over the centuries to be one of the most powerful and flavorful red wine grapes there is. It is now one of the planet's most widely grown grapes, and is a favorite with wineries as a result of its robustness and versatility. It isn't easy to identify many characteristics of this particular varietal, due to the fact that it is highly versatile and shows significant differences in flavor and character depending on the terroir it is grown in, and the climatic conditions of the region. However, Syrah is most widely associated with full bodied, strong and loud red wines, packed full of fruity and spicy flavors, held in a beautifully deep red liquid.

The Rhone Valley of southern France is a particularly fascinating wine region, with a history that stretches back to at least six hundred BCE, when the ancient Greeks first began cultivating vines there. The region itself is split into two distinct sub-regions, with the northern sub-region being famed for its production of exceptional Syrah, Marsanne, Roussane and Viognier wines, packed full of interesting character and expressing the terroir found there. The southern sub-region is home to an enormous variety of grapes, and produces red, white and rosé wines, and some of the world's most famous and adored blended wines. The continental climate of the region is ideal for growing grapes, and the winds which blow from the Central Massif help temper the heat in the vineyards, leading to very ripe fruits holding plenty of flavor.

Winery Notes
Generous in its youth, with notes of black fruits, spices, and subtle flowers, it evolves over time into a silky, taffeta-like expression, unfolding its elegance over decades. The color is red and deep, The nose is fruity and floral, with aromas of red fruits, blackcurrant, black cherry, and pepper. The Palate is tasty and velvety, slightly tannic.
