John Livingstone-Learmonth
(cask, from Jan to March 2011 will be in vat prior to bottling) full yellow, apricot tints. Rich, candied nose, Marsanne in the lead with fine Roussanne behind. Has a nutty flavour, good grip; a traditional style wine, taste of orange marmalade. Has a solid, food-friendly richness. Rich, very 2009 in style. Nice sturdiness along with fine acidity, and a very clear finale. Well structured, also. Drink 2019-21. Nov 2010

Readers looking for more minerality and higher acids will enjoy the 2010 Crozes-Hermitage Blanc. Hints of orange rind, grapefruit, lemon zest and rose water are present in this medium-bodied, zesty wine. Sorrel produces two cuvees of white Hermitage, the basic 100% Marsanne from Les Greffieux, and the top cuvee called Les Rocoules, a more limited production offering. 86-87 points
