Saint Joseph Silice, Coursodon 2019

The 2019 Saint Joseph Silice would be a great introduction for readers looking to understand the style and quality of this estate. Coming from a handful of hillside parcels of vines averaging 30 years old, it reveals a deep ruby/plum color as well as ripe, savory notes of dried herbs, peppered game, new leather, and assorted red and black fruits. Rich, mouth-filling, and nicely structured, it’s another wine from this estate that has wonderful purity of fruit as well as balance. It can be drunk any time over the coming 10-12 years. (Drink between 2022-2034)
