Bright ruby. Zesty red and dark berry aromas are complemented by notes of cracked pepper, black tea and smoky minerals. Racy, tightly wound black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors become sweeter with air and are framed by silky tannins. Finishes tangy, focused and persistent, with a stony quality.

N/Apts The Wine Advocate– 2016 vintage

FOR THE 2016 VINTAGE
Robert owns 2.5 hectares around Tournon, Mauves and Glun, where he sourced his 2016 Saint Joseph. Tasted from tank just prior to bottling, it shows bold fruit allied to fine purity. Ripe black cherry fruit is framed by silky tannins. (92-93pts)

91pts Vinous – Antonio Galloni– 2016 vintage

FOR THE 2016 VINTAGE
Bright violet. Smoke- and mineral-accented cherry and dark berry scents are complicated by hints of olive and licorice. Supple and broad on the palate, offering pliant blackberry and bitter cherry flavors that become sweeter and livelier with air. A suave floral pastille note appears on the clinging finish, which shows very good clarity and gentle, even tannins.
