To overestimate the joy of the red fruit here would be sadly misplaced. So pure, so intense. Cloudy red, pure bramble nose. Jenny & Francois importer

I was afraid I’d be committing infanticide opening this 2018 so soon, but this really could not have been more perfect, showing with tons of ripe blackberry and boisenberry fruit, fresh herbs, kalamata tappenade, and subtle oak notes. Giving, silky, and ready to drink, I don’t think this needs any further aging. She’s beautiful as is.

Great producer of St Joseph just a couple of notches under Gonon.

“Floral-violet airs accompany notably fine red fruits on a bouquet that gives airborne appeal, is gentle on top, with quiet foundation below. The palate gives bright fruit, has low-key depth… a fine St.-Jo., a hands-off style, letting the juice do the talking. There are fine droplets on the aftertaste… This is accurate, precise.” DrinkRhone.com

Dark cherries, full bodied but certainly very fresh at only 12.5%. Loved this
