August 12, 2020 - Delicious bottle of St. Joseph. Might be in a slightly awkward spot at the moment but the quality is there. Blackberry, licorice, rosemary and tart purple olive. Let it rest another 5.

April 10, 2017 - Appealing bouquet and taste profile, with considerable power and grit for Saint Joseph at this price point. Drinking well now and unlikely to improve, but it should last for a few years. 90-91.

December 25, 2016 - Elegant cote rotie-like saint joseph. Taste ready now. A bit broad and smoky. Taste ecological. No outstanding complexity but very enjoyable

October 17, 2016 - Drank over two nights. At first the wine was a little too extracted cherry with a hint of medicine. However came together nicely on the second night. Some dark cherry and a bit of cherry pit bitterness. Lush and a little simple but will hold for a couple more years or can be drunk now

2/4/2010 (link)(GILLES ROBIN St. Joseph ANDRE PEALAT) On the Run Dear Friends, I'm on the run right now (literally) but this just hit the wire and it's a deal that's too good to pass up. This is close to 50% off (even from us) and it's the current release from a great vintage. I realize we've had oodles of Northern Rhones lately but there's no limit for Syrah of this caliber in my cellar. This is the top-end bottling of St. Joseph from Gilles-Robin, priced at the single-vineyard Cote Rotie level. It is way above their entry level Crozes-Hermitage "Papillon" or the "Alberic Bouvet" (both are between $20-25). The Andre Pealat it is their most limited wine (even more so than the 1920) and it is from a vineyard that is so top-rate, the grapes appear to be half mineral and half fruit. While tempting to try now, this wine is not for today - it requires 2-4 years in the cellar to allow buried strata to emerge (although it comes out on day 2 and 3 in an open bottle). This is another wine that cannot be appreciated in one sip at a trade tasting - it requires a slow song and dance drawn out over an entire evening: Only a few hundred bottles for the entire US (including restaurants). HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and VERY RARE ONE SHIPMENT ONLY at this price: 2006 Domaine Gilles Robin Saint Joseph "Andre Pealat" Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Rhone7744
