Chemin de Sainte-Epine Saint-Joseph Syrah

Big deep grapey nose. Tons of granite and blackberry but also red berries as well. A very evocative and encompassing nose. Some pepper, spice and herbs as well. Complex and inviting. Palate is soft and structured with an intense pepperiness. Supple and melty with gorgeous red fruits and also blackberry. Very pure and perfectly balanced with really nice tannins. Excellent wine.

Gorgeous nose of vivid red berry fruit, black olive, granite and just gorgeous aromatic purity. Cocoa, bittersweet chocolate. Very very complex. Palate is all granite and energy with tasty black olive and a granitic sappy red berry finish. Velvety sweet tannins and a complex very olivey finish. Terrific red and black berry fruit and great length and complexity. Awesome mouthfeel and purity. Great finesse. So well made.
