Domaine du Colombier 2005 Marsanne (Hermitage)
- $90
Toasty on the nose, accented by hints of peach, then turning honeyed and rich on the palate, with a slightly oily texture. Layers of velvety richness fill the mouth, with just enough acid to leave a lasting finish.

Domaine du Colombier 2009 Cuvée Gaby Syrah (Crozes-Hermitage)
- Editors' Choice
- $42
Atypically round for a Crozes-Hermitage—a result of the vintage—but immediately attractive, with ample weight backing up the smoky, bacony notes and plummy fruit. Finishes long and richly textured, with hints of oak. Drink now–2020.

Domaine du Colombier 2004 Syrah (Hermitage)
- $90
Nicely defined on the nose, with precise spice and herbal notes that add complexity to the crunchy red fruit flavors. Ripe tannins and an easy finish make for an approachable Hermitage that should be consumed on the young side. Drink now–2015.

Domaine du Colombier 2010 Chardonnay (Chablis)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
This is rich and rounded, with ripe apple and peach flavors. It has a good depth of flavor that comes from the complex play between toast and sweet fruit notes. It has weight, and it can age over the next two years.

Domaine du Colombier 2005 Marsanne (Crozes-Hermitage)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Made solely of Marsanne, this is a lightly honeyed wine, redolent of almonds and apricots. Fresh, clean and easy, and while it might age, it's probably best consumed young.

Domaine du Colombier 2005 Syrah (Hermitage)
- $90
Bottled only three weeks prior to review, this wine may have been suffering a little when it was tasted last May. There’s a bit of spice, but the wine just isn’t that expressive, showing crisp and tight, with some raw tannins on the finish. Seems to have potential, so hold five years or more before trying.

Domaine du Colombier 2004 Cuvée Gaby Syrah (Crozes-Hermitage)
- $29
Boasts a blanket of cedary oak, but underneath is some nicely textured fruit that bears a resemblance to ripe black cherries. The wine is medium- to full-bodied, with hints of vanilla on the finish. Drink now–2012.

Domaine du Colombier 2005 Syrah (Crozes-Hermitage)
- Online Exclusive
- $22
Starts off a bit stinky and reductive on the nose, but in the mouth it's fresh and fruity. An easy-drinking Crozes-Hermitage, bursting with cherries, brought into focus by some youthful tannins and crisp acids. Drink now-2012.
