St. Joseph Syrah

Nose of blackberry and mulberry, game, violets, pepper, briny olives, savory herbs and some earthy funk. Palate shows bright fruit, mild spice, and backdrop of minerals. Not sure how it was upon release but drinking very well now and demonstrates freshness and balance. A nice and modestly framed Syrah

Good & rustic ........

Second wine from Miquettes. One from 2012 and this from 2011. Troubling note on the finish that I can't place. Good reputation. Foibles of all natural production.

A little gem discovered in Paris at Le Baratin.

Brett, pepper, and dark fruit

Had with grilled lamb. Excellent! A little sediment on the bottom. Maybe decant next time.

Full bodied. Perhaps a bit too fruit forward ?

Earthy, deep, not super complicated but super interesting.

great aromatics. pure and round.

Superbe!
