Lieu-Dit Saint Joseph Marsanne Roussanne
St. Joseph, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
2026: Lush, full-bodied Rhône Syrah. Lots of typical black fruits, herbs and distinctive black olive undertones. Subtle tannins - this is drinking well and leans toward smoothness and complexity over power. $70 at WT.

Medium to full bodied. Rich and luxurious nose of oak, vanilla, honey, saffron, oriental spice, nectarine, minerals and orange zest.
These nuances are echoing nicely on the palate. Finish is dry, serious, long and lovely with salty minerality and bittersweet fruit notes.
Really nice white Rhone wine, well balanced, just entering its drinking window.
