"Saturated ruby. Mineral- and spice-tinged red and dark fruit aromas are complemented by suggestions of candied licorice and pungent flowers. Distinctly lively and sharply delineated, offering concentrated blackberry, floral pastille and spicecake flavors and a zesty mineral quality. Rich yet energetic, with noteworthy balance and focus. Shows superb energy lift and thrust on the impressively long finish, which is framed by smooth, even tannins." -Vinous

"I continue to love the 2013 St Joseph and it's a classic, elegant beauty that offers lots of minerality, purple fruits, olive, pepper and liquid violets characteristics."
