According to Robert Parker: "The knock-out, medium-bodied 2004 The Hermit Crab Viognier/Marsanne (70% and 30% respectively) possesses exotic notes of litchi nuts, apricots, and honeysuckle. Dry and fresh, with no evidence of wood, this fruity, character-filled white will provide plenty of pleasure over the next 1-2 years." (10/05) The 2004 Hermit Crab exhibits fresh and tropical fruit with a strong emphasis on stone fruits, pineapple, mango and honeysuckle. The youthful palate is immediately luscious with those tropical fruit, honeysuckle and stone fruit flavours balanced by fresh grapefruit and light butter tastes, before a long persistent fruit finish. The wine shows vibrant freshness with enjoyable hints of hazelnut and slight mineral boney-ness, characteristic of marsanne.
