Julie is a child of the Northern Rhone and her husband, Graeme, from New Zealand and they met while working for legendary Norther Rhone aster Stephane Ogier. Now they are making some stunning Northern Rhone wines themselves, It's a stunning bottle of Syrah, showing amazing purity, generous fruit, huge length, and a silky texture to the dark fruit, bitter chocolate, and dried orange peel flavors. Sure, it will get better with age. One taste, though, and you won't want to wait.
"Plenty of raw meat and smoked bacon, as well as red-fruit aromas and minty freshness make the bouquet of this St.-Joseph really expressive. Very elegant tannins keep the medium-bodied palate very focused through the long, fine-grained, stony finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2024."
"The 2020 Saint Joseph was 70% destemmed and will spend 15 months in French oak prior to bottling. It's an impressive barrel sample and has a wonderfully pure, elegant style in its peppery herbs, violets, flowers, and assorted berry fruits. It plays in the more elegant, seamless style of the vintage and is just one classy Saint Joseph that will drink well for 10-15 years."
