Underbrush, pepper, minerality essences, and spicy, leafy herbs create the nose.

Cave de Tain Les Nobles Rives (St. Joseph)

Cave de Tain Epsilon (Hermitage)
The top wine from Cave de Tain is deep and dark in color. The intoxicating nose shows incense, espresso, black cherry smoke, pepper, underbrush, herbs and olives. Powerful, full-bodied and concentrated on the palate, the wine hits all the right marks with its perfectly ripe tannins and ever better, its layers of gorgeous ripe fruits. Lay this down for a decade if you can and enjoy over the following 20-25 years or more. 930 Views Tasted Feb 22, 2021 |

Cave de Tain Les Hauts du Fief (Crozes-Hermitage)
Forward, fresh, and already working hard to show off its fruity side with all its sweet, ripe cherries and red plums, bottled without the use of sulfur, the wine is quite forward, making it easy to drink today. The finish, with its pepper and cherries offers charm, however is a bit drying in the endnotes. 1,690 Views Tasted Feb 22, 2021 |

Cave de Tain Les Nobles Rives (Cornas)
Smoke, espresso and dark red fruits come alive in the nose and on the full-bodied, richly textured palate. The wine is concentrated and tannic, but the fruits and the tannins are ripe, still, give this 5-7 years in the cellar, or more before touching a bottle. 1,312 Views Tasted Feb 22, 2021 |
