Delicious and very Saint-Joseph! Fragrant nose is redolent of crushed granite, savory notes that verge into iodine, and bloody dark little mountain berries. Lean and chiseled in the mouth, with clingy savory flavors and nice acidity. There’s a fair amount of tannin but it’s medium soft and well integrated. Great value, as always with this producer.

Yessir! Beautiful northern Rhone syrah, light on its feet and plenty of gamey dark fruit

Took awhile for the oak to integrate. Better on day 2

Final red from this northern Rhone winery hit most of the check marks for me. Well balanced. Fruity, but not overly jammy nose, medium bodied and much more approachable than the previous 100% Syrah.

An outstanding Rhone (100% syrah) at this price ($65 off restaurant list). A pronounced earth/barnyard nose that was interesting and appealing. Good depth on the palate. Bastille Kitchen with Joel and Lisa.
