Lieu-Dit Saint Joseph Marsanne Roussanne 2022
Truly remarkable! Bright liquid caramel apple with vibrant acidity and lightness in weight to balance the robustness of twinkling flavors that light up the palate. — 8 months ago

One of the best bottles in the longest time, balanced body and tannins, plenty of fruit with that peppery finish — a year ago

Lieu dit les Déduits Fleurie Gamay 2019
We’re pausing on goodness and hope today. We hold so much gratitude in our hearts for our loved ones and their presence in our lives. We want to share a heartfelt thanks to you all who’ve supported and inspired us day in and day out. 🙏🙏💕💕
Today we had a vegan Thanksgiving bowl of roasted carrots, acorn squash, brussels sprouts, and broccoli, along with mashed yams, potatoes, toasted pecans, pomegranate, cranberry sauce (with orange zest), and thyme-spiced gravy. 🍁🍁🍁
With it we paired a couple of options each of which went well with the flavors, textures, and elements of the meal… here’s the Gamay…
Famille Dutraive, Fleurie Lieu Dit, Les Deduits 2019. ABV 14.5%. Organically farmed, old vine gamay. Intensely fruity with an abundance of bright cherry, strawberry, cranberry, banana, kirsch on the nose and palate, with noteworthy acidity, high alcohol, soft tannins and notes of vanilla, cinnamon, developed while aging 6 months in oak. Whole cluster, carbonic fermentation 👏👏

Lieu-Dit Saint-Joseph Syrah 2006
#AgedWineTuesday
Dark inky in color with a reddish rim.
Nose of black currants, plums, cooked cherries, light mildew, earth, herbs, spices, tobacco leaf, dark coffee, light forest floor and black pepper.
Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs.
Very dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn, earth, dried meats, black tea and light vegetables.
Short finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 19 year old Syrah from Northern Rhône is still drinking nicely, although definitely not at its peak anymore.
Not in your face kind of wine at this point. Elegant, with nice complexity. Interesting, and still powerful.
Mildew and forest floor notes start to disappear after 90 minutes in the decanter. Still showing some fruit notes though, which is nice to see.
Good by itself or with food.
13% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
$80. — a year ago

Lieu dit La Dardouille Saint-Joseph Syrah 2019
Day 2 notes. Nose of blueberry and blackberry, granite and graphite. Dark and rich but super mineral as well. Palate is energetic and fresh but also dark and rich with blackberry and blueberry galore. Young and disjointed as it was yesterday but it’s all there. Check back in 5 years — 3 years ago

La Noë Muscadet-Côtes de Grand Lieu Sur Lie Melon de Bourgogne 2018
Je suis un fan de muscadet. Pas de ces versions acides et étriquées à vous détartrer ce qu’il vous reste d’émail aux dents, non. Plutôt de ces envolées fluides, légères, agiles et admirablement tracées livrées par un melon de bourgogne traité aux petits oignons. À celui-ci s’ajoutent texture saline et densité qui allonge la finale. Top ! — 5 years ago
Schoffit
Lieu-Dit Harth Cuvée Caroline Gewurztraminer 2022
Medium golden color. Very expressive aromas of rose petals, honeysuckle, melon, orchids and Asian spices. Flavors of apricot, peaches, tropical fruit, honey and ginger. Nice touches of mandarin orange and minerals on the long and elegant finish. Pleasant viscous/oily texture. Subtle acidity but still very well balanced. So complex, concentrated and bold but also very harmonious. — 7 months ago

@Delectable Wine Why is there so much shouting on this label? I mean it's great, but I prefer understated 😉. — 3 years ago

Really enjoyed. Quite vinous while giving you everything you’d want in a relatively entry level champagne - but much more interesting than it needs to be. — 5 months ago
