Score 90/100 · Josh Raynolds, Mar 2014

Bright purple. Smoky, peppery aromas of fresh dark berries, licorice and musky herbs, with a subtle hint of olive in the background. Juicy and refreshingly bitter on the palate, displaying blackcurrant and cherry-vanilla flavors and a touch of cracked pepper. Shows an appealing blend of fruitiness and structure, finishing with strong cut and smooth, even tannins that add grip.

Score 89/100 · Drink 2013-2020, Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate, Dec 2013

The straight 2011 Saint Joseph is rock solid, with plenty of black olive, underbrush, gamey meat and ripe blackberry fruit that’s paired up with a rich, medium-bodied and textured feel on the palate. Showing good acidity and solid length, enjoy it over the coming 5-7 years. Importer: Alain Junguenet, Wines of France, Mountainside, NJ; Tel. (908) 654-6173
