Product Overview
94 Points - Wine Spectator
"Restrained and tightly focused, this has a sleek mineral edge that carries a core of gently mulled raspberry and black cherry fruit, while light violet, savory and incense hints fill in the background. Sneaky long, too. Best from 2024 through 2034. 500 cases made, 62 cases imported." -JM, 2/28/23

"Brilliant purple color. Pungent dark berries, licorice, smoked meat and potpourri on the highly perfumed nose. Shows very good depth as well as energy on the palate, which offers nervy, spice-accented cassis, bitter cherry and black pepper flavors that become sweeter as the wine opens up. Steadily building tannins frame a very long, focused finish that echoes the floral and smoke notes." -JR, Dec/2022

"Tasted from barrel, the 2020 Saint Joseph Sainte-Epine, from the Saint-Jean de Muzols portion of the appellation, features classic granite-derived notes of crushed stone and restraint, but it also has plentiful notes of raspberries and black olive. Medium to full-bodied, it's dense and structured yet has a long, silky finish." -JC, 1/20/22
