Compared to the 1995s, the 1994 Hermitage cuvees are more seductive, flattering, and developed. The 1994 Hermitage Cuvee Classique is lighter than I expected, with an evolved, medium ruby/garnet color, as well as sweet, soft, sexy, ripe, cassis aromas intermingled with herbs, pepper, minerals, and spice. The wine is round, complex, and exceptionally aromatic (almost Burgundian in that sense), with low acidity, and a round, generous finish. Already delicious, it should continue to drink well for a decade. The glory of this estate is the red Hermitage. In most years there are two wines, a Cuvee Classique, and a luxury cuvee called Hermitage Le Greal. In 1995, Sorrel did not begin harvesting his Syrah until September 26, seven days after the last rain.For whatever reason, the wines of Marc Sorrel have remained undervalued, and to a large extent, ignored in the American marketplace. The numerous importer changes he has endured have only exacerbated the problem of finding Sorrel's wines.Importer: New Castle Imports, Myrtle Beach, SC; tel. (803) 497-8625
