Tasting Notes

91-93
Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Feb 15
(made from fruit grown in a vineyard in the granite-heavy region between Tournon and Mauves): Bright violet color. Sexy, high-pitched aromas of candied dark fruits, potpourri and peppery spices show very clarity and a suggestion of pipe tobacco. Palate-coating black raspberry and floral pastille flavors deepen with air and pick up a smoky nuance, along with a touch of star anise. Sweet, penetrating and pure on the finish, which lingers with strong tenacity and supple, harmonious tannins.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Jeb Dunnuck - 31 Dec 15
From a granite terroir just outside the village of Mauves (the vineyard is just to the south of the lieu-dit Saint Joseph), the 2013 Saint Joseph Lieu Dit Paradis has terrific granite character as well as abundant notes of cassis, violets, graphite and charcoal. Medium plus-bodied, pure and elegant on the palate, with a seamless texture and fine tannin, it makes the most of the vintage and while enjoyable now, will be better with short term cellaring and have 10-15 years of overall longevity.
Drinking Date: 2016 - 2030
Rhone Vineyard Valley of Fine Wine

Rhone

The Rhône Valley in southeastern France is famed for its diverse wines. It's divided into Northern Rhône, known for Syrah-based reds and white wines from Viognier, Marsanne, and Roussanne, and Southern Rhône, which features blends like Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre. Northern Rhône wines, such as Côte-Rôtie and Hermitage, are intense and complex, while Southern Rhône's Châteauneuf-du-Pape is known for powerful, spicy reds. Top producers include E. Guigal, Domaine du Pegau, and Domaine Jean-Louis Chave, exemplifying the region's rich winemaking tradition.
