title: Clos de l'Hermitage 2009 Red (Côtes du Rhône)
description: Full bodied and richly tannic, this heavily extracted wine seems almost like too much of a good thing. Leather and cedar aromas give way to flavors of roasted meat, tapenade and asphalt and finish slightly warm. Maybe some time in the cellar will help dial this wine down.
variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
