"The 1999 St.-Joseph Les Roches Vieilles Vignes comes from a hillside vineyard near the village of Chateaubourg. A sensational effort, it is one of the finest I have tasted. Smoky, licorice-infused, blackberry, and cassis fruit include a liquid mineral characteristic. With excellent texture, full body, and brilliant purity and overall symmetry, it is a fabulous, celestial St.-Joseph . . ."

Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
