A lot going on the nose. Red fruit, black fruit, meat, leather. Would be a good wintertime wine. Too bad they’re sold out at Kermit Lynch. Devin gave it 💯 — 5 years ago

Gorgeous gold color; rich aroma; definitely showing it’s age with honeyed lemon taste. Slight bitterness, but very enjoyable. Last bottle, which is probably a good thing since this may be just over the hill. — 6 years ago

Tons of freshness to compliment the tar, leather and dark fruits. It remains so light for being such a built wine. Really lovely and I suspect it will age very very well. This is total cote rotie — 7 years ago

Our last bottle of this Syrah/Grenache treasure purchased at the estate a couple of years ago. Plums, spice, and earthy notes. Amazing QPR and a beloved memory of vacation and friends. — 8 years ago

Excited to check in on this! Harmonious, lengthy, and heady with its perfume. Great memories of tastings with Bobby at my old job, this cuvée named after his son was always a highlight. To me it really focuses on the synergy that old vine Grenache and Mourvèdre can have. There’s a perfect balance of soaked red and black fruits, garrigue, and an exotic spice savoriness that I just love. Structural compliment is there, with the Mourvèdre’s tannic backbone countering the mid-palate weight of the Grenache. As with many 2012s in the Rhône, this has such a great personality, a match of elegance and richness that bring so much joy in the glass. Perfect for turkey day! — 5 years ago

$45 bottle; was much lighter than other CdP, more like a Pinot. — 6 years ago

Spot-on, classic, perfectly delineated Saint Joseph. This is the elegant and pretty side of Syrah. Flowing waves of violets and black pepper lift effortlessly out of the glass with bright red fruits. Mid palate is silk and nearly weightless with fine tannins. Low alcohol and neutral oak profile allow for a very pure expression. Hints of game on the finish with a lingering minerality and a fresh, spicy peppercorn character that would be lovely with a variety of meats and herbs. Beautiful wine that I look forward to revisiting over the next 2-3 years. — 7 years ago

9.2

Color of clear dark purple mixed with bloody vivid red. Nose of racy sweetness form dried strawberry, raisin, and cherry, moderate strength of alcohol, a bit metallic note, sage, and some grilled peppers. Taste is surprisingly dry with nice oak, powerful tannins, some bitter earthy and metallic note, menthol, and really fruit note in the background. Aftertaste of tannins, firm, some more bitter note, a bit peppery note, a touch of fruit, and some clove. She is still too young. I should've waited for her to mature.
I decided to let her breathe for a while. After 30 minutes, the fruit note surface, and with some cola note showing up too. Also some leafy tobacco note. The tannins is still very powerful, and I still recommend to sit this one for at least another year. — 8 years ago
