Tasting Notes

Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Apr 18
Glass-staining ruby. Heady, mineral-accented dark berry and floral pastille aromas show outstanding clarity and pick up an Indian spice nuance with air. Juicy and penetrating on the palate, offering intense bitter cherry, boysenberry and spicecake flavors that are given spine and lift by a core of juicy acidity. Finishes floral and extremely long, displaying resonating spiciness and steadily mounting tannins.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Joe Czerwinski - 29 Dec 17
The 2015 Saint Joseph is a head-turner. Knockout aromas of violets, herbal notes and hints of raspberry preserves mark the nose of this medium to full-bodied wine. It’s firmly tannic but ripe and concentrated, with a long, mouthwatering finish.

Profound, rich nose with stemmy herbal notes and a long, finely woven tannic finish. Layers of floral scent with a lingering meaty note and the most excellent floral quality. (RH)
