Merchant's description

Hermitage Epsilon Cave de Tain 2010 is a notable expression of the Syrah grape from a respected cooperative in the Rhône Valley. The wine exhibits a deep, dark colour, with aromas of black fruits, subtle herbs and hints of earthy minerals. On the palate, it reveals layers of flavour that include dark berries and nuanced spice, supported by firm tannins. It is crafted by Cave de Tain, a producer known for its commitment to quality and precision in winemaking. This release benefits from additional ageing potential, best enjoyed over the coming decades.
