Domaine Vincent Paris
Les Côtes Saint-Joseph Syrah
St. Joseph, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Crazy aromatics of game and smoke. Violets and pepper there, but the feral accents dominate. Medium bodied, juicy palate. Ruby grapefruit (a common Rhone note for me). Pair with pheasant, venison, or lean game.
12.5% abv.

Heavenly. One of the most delicate, slickest Saint Joseph’s I’ve had. All of the amazing Syrah aromas on the nose (cured black olive, Tabacco, black plum, black currant, pepper, even some red fruits, garrigue) Usually when I have Syrahs this light, they taste lean, angular, underripe — but this fruit is fully ripe, yet still so light on its feet. Fully destemmed Syrah from Vincent’s high elevation plots surrounding Ardoix, one of the furthest north plots in Saint Joseph. His 21 Cornas might be a better wine, but this is the bottle I want to drink right now.
