Creme de cassis and blackberry aromas sufficient to fill the room emerge on the nose of Sorrel`s 2017 Hermitage Le Greal. Full-bodied, rich, and supple, this is a lush, creamy wine that shows incredible intensity of flavor without excess weight. Underneath all of that plush fruit is a stony core of structure and myriad spicy complexities that should sustain it for decades to come. 96-98 points
