2012 David Reynaud, Beaumont, Crozes-Hermitage, Rhône Valley

( N/A, 12.5%, Liberty Wines )

A Crozes-Hermitage under screwcap? You’d better believe it. David Reynaud’s wines are perfumed as it is, and the new clsoure should make sure that’s always the case. There’s no reduction here – sometimes a problem under screwcap for Syrah – just lots of bramble and blackberry fruit. Spicy, bright and mineral with delightful freshness.
