1990 Belle Père et Fils Hermitage Rhone

Hermitage is the granite hill that made Syrah famous — a tiny, steep appellation in the Northern Rhône whose reds are among the longest-lived in France.

Domaine Belle has farmed old parcels on the hill across generations. This 1990 comes from one of the Rhône's greatest modern vintages; at this age, it's a rare chance to drink mature Hermitage Syrah at its savory, tertiary peak.
