The only 2011 white I was able to taste, the 2011 Ermitage Le Reverdy Blanc is a smoking effort that represents a solid value in Northern Rhone whites. Unfortunately, with only 119 cases produced, there's not much to go around. A blend of equal parts Roussanne and Marsanne, it offers brilliant aromas and flavors of sauteed pears, honeysuckle, toasted nut and crushed rock-like minerality to go with a full-bodied, rich and textured profile on the palate. It's a big wine, but it stays lively and fresh, and is an absolute joy to drink. Enjoy it over the coming decade or more. - Jeb Dunnuck
