The 2020 Saint Joseph Lieu-Dit Saint Joseph brings more of everything. Coming from the appellation namesake vineyard in the southern part of the region, it has a deep purple/ruby hue as well as gorgeous notes of cassis, graphite, crushed violets, smoke, and some background meaty, gamey nuances. It's a powerful yet elegant 2020 that has ample ripe fruit, terrific balance, and the capacity to drink well for 15 years.
