Saint-Joseph Syrah 2021

Delectable Wine
9.2

The 2021 Saint-Joseph used roughly 50% whole-clusters during fermentation. In comparison, 2022 saw 85% inclusion, while in 2017, no destemming was applied. Coming in at 12.5% alcohol, the deep purple-hued 2021 unfurls with pretty red fruits paired with leafy undertones and cedar. Orange blossom and rose petal add welcome floral lift. Light to medium in body, this is a delicate Gonon, neatly framed by velvety tannins and bright acidity. It should drink well right out of the gate. Tasted twice with consistent notes.

Lovely balance. Cool plummy fruit with minerality and a savory delicious softness. Understated but excellent — 23 days ago

Insignia Estate Grown Napa Valley Red Wine

Full bodied and flavourful. Sweet dark fruits, methol, crushed rock, herbs. Fresh finish with fine grained tannins. To me this has that polished silky Stags Leap feel to it. — a month ago

Musigny Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2006

Quite reticent in the nose. Dark plum, a bit of spice, some raspberry, a touch of iron. Very pure in the palate. Still quite tight but clearly classy fruit underneath — a month ago

Insignia Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1999

1999 vintage. Decanted and tasted after four hours. Medium/heavy body. Intense, dark color. Earthy, tannic nose. Plenty of grip and fruit and showing beautiful balance now. Not an Insignia fan but this was excellent and has plenty of quality time left. No rush to crush. 71% Cab, 21% Merlot, 6% PV, 1% Cab Franc, 1% Malbec. 3.5.24. — 23 days ago

Domaine Vincent Paris

Les Côtes Saint-Joseph Syrah 2022

No notes. Beef jerky & dark cherries, on nose & palate. Thinner concentration I had hoped for, but suspect age, air and/ or long decant will bring it together — a month ago
