A solid effort from the Beaumont-Monteux area, the 2020 Crozes Hermitage Beaumont offers hints of black cherries, black olives and even a pinch of cracked pepper on the nose. It's medium to full-bodied, nicely plump and round in the mouth, with silky tannins and a lengthy finish. Vinified and matured in concrete, there's no oak to get in the way of the expressive Syrah fruit.
