Fromgranitic soils on the slopes of Saint Joseph, its black/blue color is followed by killer aromas and flavors of crme de cassis, vanilla bean, espresso roast and crushed rocks. Full-bodied, rich, concentrated and elegant, with building tannin, it needs 5-6 years of cellaring and will keep for a decade (or more) after that.

  Another blockbuster and a massive St Joseph that almost requires a fork to drink, the 2015 Saint Joseph (1,000 cases) comes all from granite terroir, was completely destemmed, and raised in 30% new French oak and the balance in once-used barrels. Its black/blue color is followed by killer aromas and flavors of crme de cassis, vanilla bean, espresso roast and crushed rocks. Full-bodied, rich, concentrated and elegant, with building tannin, it needs 5-6 years of cellaring and will keep for a decade (or more) after that.
