St. Joseph, Northern Rhône

Pierre Gonon

Saint-Joseph Syrah 2023

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2023 pours a ruby/purple color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with an explosion of smoked blackberry pie, purple flowers, bacon fat, olive, black pepper, and subtle warm spices. On the palate the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose however, the wine finishes much more elegant than the nose would suggest. The bouquet might lead one to think this is possibly over the top. However, on the palate, it was far more elegant. Another vintage, another stunning Gonon. Drink now through 2043. — 40 minutes ago

Domaine des Miquettes

St. Joseph Syrah 2017

This tastes way younger than a ‘17. Nose has classic St Joe granite scents and bright mountain berry fruit. On the palate it’s super bright, with electric acids allowing it to keep playing with the kool kids despite its age. Medium bodied. Never heard of this producer previously. But will buy if I see again. This was bought off a bistro wine list. — a month ago

Les Figuiers Blanc St. Péray White Rhone Blend 2016

This is finally drinking.

Nose: fleeting endless white flowers. Deep. Dense. Endless. Liquid white flowers. Insane.

Palate: a perfectness. Silky. A touch of richness. A presence. Magnificent. Reverberates.

A perfectness about this. A gleaming golden harmony that transcends any tasting note and exceeds the limits of language. .
