Offerus Saint-Joseph Syrah

Hmmm-has the charcuterie & smoky minerality, good grip, dark blood color kind a thing. Good. 2012

for key value/quality, know: "St. Joseph," Northern #Rhone Syrah at a discount. Mid-weight, cherry-violet, minerally, silkster fr #Chave (Offerus '12) at The Dutch Miami, #ArtBasel

Geez just can't be beat for the price. Classic. Unbelievable value. #jlchave #saintjoseph #syrah

Back cherry and pepper. Very meaty and dense. Really great for the price point.

Ripe black fruit with black olive tapenade nice acidity

Gripping raisin and stem opens to meandering strawberry, cherry, green peppercorn. Flimsy structure and muted aromatics that clumsily stumbled open in the decanter. Lacking the finesse usually seen in saint joseph. A name that demands a price.

2012

More open and approachable than the 2010 domaine bottling I had a few months back. Red fruit with olives and thyme. Very nice wine for the price

Earthy and peppery with a little mushroom and flowers. Nice!

Subtle and awesome
