2015 d’Arenberg The Hermit Crab Viognier Marsanne

The Hermit Crab plays on the French region of Hermitage which is the spiritual home of the Marsanne grape, the wine is a blend of Viognier and Marsanne and a portion sees time in both French and American oak, it is textural, rich and incredible value at $15 a bottle.

A light yellow in the glass the nose combines peach, understated apricot and more tropical guava notes. A mouth filling wine that has a honeyed aspect to lightly spice stone fruits, pickled ginger gives an interesting contrast to vibrant peach to finish.

Will continue to evolve over the shorter term.
