| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.3 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 3 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by isbjoern on 2/25/2013 & rated 90 points: An excellent St. Péray with flavors of stone fruits, lime, flowers, spiced baked apples with vanilla sauce, a hint of banana. Quite a bit of sweet vanilla flavored oak that is very well integrated though. Gentle acidity, slighty creamy texture and good length - it is all very well balanced. Not even a hint of age on this bottle. - 90 points (1132 views) | | | Tasted by mwanasheria on 10/31/2010 & rated 94 points: Peach, lime, pineapple, lemon zest. Outstanding. (1373 views) |

Regional History:
Phocaean Greeks established viticulture in the Rhone as far back as 600 BC, but until the 14th century the wines were not seen outside the region. The establishment of the Avignonese Papacy (1305-1377) brought fame to the region's wine-so much so that their Burgundian neighbors to the north banned wines from the Rhone in 1446, a measure that effectively cut off trade with England and other Northern European markets for over 200 years. Stretching southward from Lyon to just south of Avignon, the Rhone produces a wide variety of wines, with the appellations north of Valence producing the least (in volume), and the towns south of Montelimar producing prodigious amounts. As in other regions, the most interesting wines come from small farms. Saint-Joseph, in the northern Rhone, extends for some distance between Condrieu in the north to Saint-Peray in the south. The reds are made from Syrah and the rare whites from Marsanne and Roussanne, and Viognier.
