Tasting notes
Full violet color. Ripe black and blue fruit and floral scents are energized by smoky mineral and peppery accents. Juicy and appealingly sweet, offering intense blueberry, black raspberry and spicecake flavors that unfold slowly with aeration. Well-concentrated yet lively as well, finishing impressively long and spicy, with firm tension and smooth, slowly building tannins.

The 2019 Crozes-Hermitage is a ripe, medium to full-bodied Crozes offering wonderful purity in its darker berry fruits as well as ground pepper and earthy goodness. With fine tannins, terrific balance, and lots of character, it’s well worth seeking out.
Blueberries, black cherries and black olives all mingle easily on the nose of Saint Cosme's 2019 Crozes Hermitage. It's a big, fruit-driven offering, medium to full-bodied, but it also shows excellent depth as it supports the fruit with ripe, supple tannins and a long, velvety finish. Drink it over the next few years for its sheer exuberance.
