Saint-Joseph Syrah

Gonon always succeeds in creating stunning Syrah’s from his granite soils. Wine is amazingly alive and totally in balance.

Dark raspberry and licorice on the taste finished by olive and some smoke. Compelling stuff and hard to just sip but a baby that will get better in time.

2015 drinking like a champ already

Oh so good.

I had 2 or 3 bottles of this in last few years & was consistently underwhelmed, was a disjointed, ugly duckling. Well, the ugly phase is over. Gorgeous deep black currant color w red rim. Resolute & length, medium weight. Game, currants, & cooked herbs (sage?). Uber enjoyable w beef stew & potato pie. Threw off alot of sediment- should have decanted, but luckily was a good pour

Still quite young.... savory end of Syrah, with some gamy funk, iron and cedar... pretty aromatic.

Holy cow this is great. My first time having Gonon St. Joseph.

So. Sick.

Xmas libations

Beautiful syrah. Worth the hype.
