The best of the 2008s from Ferraton, a bio-dynamically run estate owned by the large Tain l’Hermitage firm of Chapoutier, includes the 2008 Hermitage Le Miaux. It exhibits spicy oak along with hints of roasted meat, bouquet garni, black currants and earth. This medium-bodied, soft, round red is ideal for drinking over the next 5-7 years. Ferraton’s parent company, Chapoutier, has done an excellent job in St.-Peray working with Marsanne and Roussanne. This long-forgotten appellation may turn out to be the Northern Rhone’s white wine answer to Burgundy’s Chablis. As for the 2009 red wines, this is the best portfolio of dry red wines Ferraton has yet produced.Importer: A French Paradox, Peoria, IL; tel. (309) 682-8994
