More impressive than the Viognier, as one might expect, and at a much higher price point, is the 2005 Condrieu La Loyes. Excellent peach, apricot, and honeysuckle notes combine with crisp acidity and some liquified rock-like character to offer a Condrieu for drinking over the next several years. One of the most innovative and progressive producers in Cote Rotie, Jean-Michel Gerin, has also branched out with a project in Priorat, Spain, turning out some very fine wines called Trio Infernal. His 2004s (of course, a fabulous vintage in Spain) are certainly outstanding wines, made from Grenache and very old-vine Carignan.Importers: New Castle Imports, Myrtle Beach, SC; tel.
