Domaine Marc Sorrel Hermitage 2018 is a full-bodied Syrah red wine from the celebrated northern Rhône appellation of Hermitage. The 2018 Hermitage Rouge is produced from 30-year-old vines and is matured in oak barrels for 18 months. Hermitage is the most prestigious appellation in the northern Rhône and produces Syrah wines which are famously complex and long-lived. Domaine Mark Sorrel owns about 2.5ha of vineyards in Hermitage. The family has been producing wine here since the late 19th century. "Sorrel`s 2018 Hermitage is floral and red fruited, with delicate tea-like nuances entwined with violets, raspberries and cherries. It`s full-bodied but not overly weighty or rich, showcasing the rarely seen elegant side to this appellation." Wine Advocate

Vinous
Saturated ruby. Expressive blackberry and cherry compote scents are complemented by hints of exotic spices, smoked meat and olive. Round and fleshy but energetic as well, offering intense black and blue fruit and spicecake flavors that are underscored by a core of juicy acidity. A smoky bacon note lingers on the youthfully tannic finish, which shows strong, spice- and mineral-driven persistence. Josh Raynolds22nd December 2022
