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. — 6 years ago

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. — 7 years ago

джем из садовой вишни, с нотами лакрицы и розового перца, оттенки сухой пыльной земли. Много остаточного алкоголя, кислотность низкая; полнотелое, можно еще подождать — 8 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. — 7 years ago
