First produced in 1982

There is almost painful intensity to the chiseled and overtly stony medium weight flavors that possess excellent delineation on the refreshing

earth and stone driven perfume

pliant and wonderfully expressive

Colombier, Hermitage Blanc Vintage:2012 First produced in 1982Light, bright straw yellow. A deeply perfumed bouquet evokes pear and peach nectar, honey, vanilla, toasted almond and smoky minerals. Rich and fleshy but lively as well, offering sappy orchard, pit fruit and marzipan flavors that are braced by a spine of juicy acidity. Finishes chewy, focused and long, with lingering pear, honey notes and a hint of anise. Josh Raynolds
