Tasting Notes

The 2016 Saint Joseph has more of everything, with a saturated purple color, a rocking nose of dark fruits, bouquet garni, bay leaf, and violets, obvious minerality, full body, and the purity and elegance that’s the hallmark of exceptional winemaking. It’s already approachable but will keep for 10-15 years.

The 2016 Saint Joseph features aromas of herbs, spice and everything nice, including a healthy dose of black cherries. This medium to full-bodied wine boasts silky tannins, not soft to the point of creaminess but just right. Drink it on release and over the next decade.
