The 2013 Michelas St. Jemms Hermitage Rouge ‘Terre d’Arce’ is a captivating expression of its terroir, scoring a well-earned 93 points. Sourced from the renowned Hermitage hill in the Rhône Valley, this wine showcases a beautifully complex tapestry of dark fruit, hints of earthy minerality, and subtle spice. On the palate, velvety tannins support flavors of blackberries and plums, seamlessly interwoven with notes of graphite and a touch of leather, leading to a long, satisfying finish. This wine shines when paired with hearty dishes like a slow-braised lamb shank or a rich mushroom risotto. It’s a smart buy for the quality, delivering depth and character that truly elevates your dining experience.
