Dark purple burgundy in color, smells of savory meaty component, blackberry, cardamom, white pepper, tobacco and fig, balanced acidity wets your mouth, full body with round mouthfeel,tastes of black cherry, pepper, licorice, black tea and roasted suckling pig, medium to long finish, excellent structure and way too easy drinking.
This is a negotiant operation teamed up by the Jaboulet family in the north and Perrin family in the south to produce Northern Rhône AOC and none-AOC varietal wines. — 11 years ago

A great combination! Dittmers merguez, potato pancakes and roasted romanesco went with this olive and dark fruit Cab Franc perfectly. Why do we try and pair over ripe Rhone with merguez when we know that we don't like it? Let there be acid! — 11 years ago

Stinky, reductive, needs lots of air & time to breath. Funky cab franc which many won't like. — 10 years ago

Very different style than nearly anything else coming out of Loire or all of France. There is a darkness and depth to the fruit with an almost volitile acidity that shares more in common with italian wines than Burgundy. Cinnamon spice shows through on this heavier, interesting pinot. 2013 Vintage. — 10 years ago

All st. Joseph elements in good balance here. Brand new black leather seats on the nose, juicy, bright, not blown out at all, a little bloody, a little mineral laiden. A sommeliers dream for a rack of lamb on the menu. With a nice salinity in the food this is heavenly. — 11 years ago

Just plain drinkable with a lot of red fruit, pretty CF aromatics and just a touch of funky-earthiness. — 11 years ago
