Inky ruby. Pungent black raspberry and cherry cola aromas are complemented by suggestions of potpourri olive and allspice. Silky and expansive on the palate offering spice-tinged red and blue fruit flavors that show excellent delineation and back-end thrust. Lively and seamless in texture finishing with minerally drive and harmonious slow-building tannins. The interplay of power and finesse here is quite impressive. Josh Raynolds
vThe 2016 Saint Joseph features aromas of herbs spice and everything nice including a healthy dose of black cherries. This medium to full-bodied wine boasts silky tannins not soft to the point of creaminess but just right. Drink it on release and over the next decade. Joe Czerwinski
