A fabulous wine for the price and from a region of the Rhone that is often overlooked. Boisterous strawberry and cherry fruit flavors with a dash of pepper and spice.

Decanted for an hour. Gutsy wine for a St. Joseph. Firm tannins, full bodied, alcohol stands out a little too strong but typical for a Rhone. Black berry, raspberry flavors with hints of spice and pepper. Still evolving.

This was dramatically better the 2nd night, so suggesting that it was a bit early to be opened. The nose was bramble with wet leaves and yeast. The taste felt thick and jammy, but was not fruit forward. The pepper finish was enjoyable.

Raspberry and blackberry flavors, a big dose of spice and dried herbs. Fine tannins remain.
