Winemaker Joseph J. Wagner is a 4th generation winemaker from a family with farming and winemaking roots in the Napa Valley since 1906. Met Joe several times. Deep Ruby with red berry fruit aromas and sweet spice notes. On the palate flavors of raspberry and ripe blackberry with sweet oak, cacao and espresso notes. Soft fine tannins perfect acidity and balance long finish ending with mineral character. Nice! A Fav! — 6 years ago

Vidal Fleury was founded in 1781 by Joseph Vidal functioning as the oldest winery in the Rhone Valley. A blend of 80% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 5% Mourvèdre, dark red, aromas of black berry fruits and floral scents. On the palate big red berry fruits notes of cacao and spice. Soft tannins showing maturity, lingering ending with a good hold on the fruit and spice. Consistent quality. Very nice, great to drink now. — 7 years ago

Have had some good and some fair bottles of this, from various vintages. I think Chave’s St. Joseph is one of the best wines and greatest values in the Northern Rhone but Offerus, his Negoce wine, is a bit lighter. This hits all the right notes: still lovey black and blue fruit and a nose redolent of grilled meat and olives with a bit of wood spice. Middleweight and amply acidic this is just really nice all around, if lacking the depth and persistence of the domaine St. J. — 9 years ago

So good. This taste like a quality Saint Joseph combined with a top notch sour beer. Snappy red and blue fruit, purple flowers, soil, cured meat, and botanicals. Crisp acidity, and easy but noticeable tannins. A cloudy ruby red/magenta in the glass. Delightfully funky and wild. — 6 years ago
