2nd wine served by a friend for that 40th birthday party. Superb thing. Really. Gastronomy, oaky wine. One of the biggest saint jo I have ever had — 2 months ago

Textbook Northern Rhone Syrah in a very affordable, drink now package. Bing cherry, currants, light and pleasantly integrated peppercorn and smoke notes, a touch of beef bouillon and soil. Medium bodied, pure textures of finely grained tannin and perfectly integrated acidity. Med+ on the finish. If you have been drinking new world syrah and are hesitant to buy in on a Cote-Rotie, Hermitage or even a Saint-Joseph, this is a nice entry point. — 3 years ago

2020 vintage. 75% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Franc and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon. Owned by the Despagne family since 1812, and the current 7th generation (François Despagne) seems to be serious about quality. This 2020 displays impressive aromatics, concentration, depth, and precision, with fresh acidity balancing the 15% abv. — a year ago

This producer whom was relatively unknown to me just blows me away with its gobs of dark fruits showing mineral, meat, blood, spice, olive & violet notes. Great QPR at $40-$45 — 3 years ago

Beautiful lighter bodied st Joseph. Drink soon though, it’s the freshness that makes it the wine it is. — 4 years ago

Delicious. Balanced, leaning towards rounded acids, fantastic, will be very expensive very soon. — 8 months ago

Very nice St Joseph. Nice purple fruit and a bit of barnyard on the nose. Slightly unresolved, but still complete with good length. — a year ago

Bright this back from Paris 2018 and opened for Christmas 2022. Wasn’t sure how this was going to age but opened as funky and delicious as I had hoped. Notes of blue cheese and fermented blueberries. Bright notes of kombucha in the taste. Natty wines can age! — 2 years ago
