Domaine Philippe & Vincent Jaboulet Crozes-Hermitage 2014

Whiffs of leather, fur and coffee grinds lend complexity to fresh, concentrated blackberry and boysenberry flavors in this wine. It's a juicy, succulent Syrah with peppery elegance that's ready to drink now but should hold nicely through 2025.

The 2015 Crozes-Hermitage Blanc (100% Marsanne) offers some straightforward apple blossom, spice, and some honeyed minerality in its medium-bodied, balanced, slightly earthy style. It has some texture and charm .

Dried chamomile and Mediterranean herbs lend a savory tone to fresh lemon and pear flavors in this silky, dry wine. It's a subtly mineral, earthen sip with a spicy ginger finish.
