WINE DESCRIPTION
Dard & Ribo Hermitage is a highly sought-after wine produced by the renowned winemakers, Dard & Ribo. This wine comes from the Hermitage appellation, which is known for its steep, terraced vineyards and granite soils. The grapes used to make this wine are grown on vines that are over 50 years old, which adds to the wine's complexity and depth of flavor. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including hand-harvesting and natural fermentation, which results in a wine that is full-bodied and rich in flavor. Dard & Ribo Hermitage is a classic example of a Syrah-based wine from the Northern Rhône region, with notes of black fruit, spice, and a long, elegant finish.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Hermitage Rouge from Dard & Ribo is a deep and intense expression of Syrah, with bold and concentrated aromas of blackberry and cassis.On the palate, the wine is intense and full-bodied, with chewy tannins and notes of dark chocolate, licorice, and spices. The finish is long and complex, with a lingering hint of black pepper. This is a truly remarkable wine that will continue to improve with age.

ORIGINS
Winery: Dard & Ribo
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
