Benchmark Saint-Joseph from one of the Northern Rhône's most beloved family domaines, in the ripest and most powerful vintage of this run. Pierre and Jean Gonon farm steep, granite slopes in Mauves, the historic heart of the appellation directly across from the Hermitage hill, with which they share the same granitic bedrock. They farm organically (no chemicals since 2004; later certified), harvest by hand, and ferment whole-ish clusters with native yeasts in the traditional way, producing Syrah of remarkable purity and finesse rather than brute power. 2015 brought a hot, dry, drought-marked summer to the Northern Rhône and produced dense, deeply colored Syrah with real tannic backbone — more muscle than Gonon usually shows. At eleven years it is still on the young side: the dark fruit has barely budged and the structure is firm. Cellar-sourced; give it a long decant now or leave it another five years and let it come to you.

Antonio Galloni

95 points

"Glass-staining ruby. Heady, mineral-accented dark berry and floral pastille aromas show outstanding clarity and pick up an Indian spice nuance with air. Juicy and penetrating on the palate, offering intense bitter cherry, boysenberry and spicecake flavors that are given spine and lift by a core of juicy acidity. Finishes floral and extremely long, displaying resonating spiciness and steadily mounting tannins." —Josh Raynolds

Robert Parker

93 points

"The 2015 Saint Joseph is a head-turner. Knockout aromas of violets, herbal notes and hints of raspberry preserves mark the nose of this medium to full-bodied wine. It’s firmly tannic but ripe and concentrated, with a long, mouthwatering finish." —Joe Czerwinski
