Very solid northern rhone find from the Flatiron emailers. Soft black olives dominant.

An oldish school Northern Rhone that's hard to beat for the price.

Old school. Medium bodied. Austere at first but shows very pure Syrah blue/black fruit and cracked pepper with a couple hours of air. excellent cellar potential.

The color appears on the lighter side of what I would expect from a Rhone syrah. Ruby, quite transparent but no bricking yet. The wine airs well with a lot of flowery characters - rose petal, violet, and a slight hint of vine stem. Structurally in tact at 4 years of age. Medium plus acidity and tannin. Elegant with, again, floral showing on the palate backed by red cherry, some earthy, and mushroomy notes as well as slight meatiness. Good quaffable Saint Joseph that would do probably better with 4-5 years more of cellaring time. 89+

Dirty filthy barnyard mushroom and truffle old world Syrah. A bit of sour cherry candy on the finish
