"This is packed with ganache, roasted alder, steeped plum and blackberry flavors, all coursing through a structured finish, revealing an undercurrent of graphite. Solid. Best from 2016 through 2026. 900 cases made."

92 Jeb Dunnuck - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"Coming all from granite soils and an early ripening terroir, the 2011 Saint-Joseph Lieu-Dit Saint Joseph is a beautiful, medium-bodied, 100% Syrah blend that gives up notions of sweet and sour cherries, steak tartare, underbrush and crushed stone-like minerality. Scheduled to be bottled at the end of this month (October), it is a classic, gamey effort that will drink nicely for a decade."
