"The 2015 Saint Joseph Le Paradis Saint Pierre is another blockbuster from this young vigneron that's up with some of the best Saint Josephs ever made. Currants, roasted meats, beef and tons of mineral notes all flow to a concentrated, ripe, powerful wine that has beautiful concentrated, notable purity and ample underlying structure. It’s going to take 5-6 years for this puppy to shed some baby fat, but it’s just packed with Cornas goodness. I continue to love the wines from the young Jerome Coursodon, who pulls from roughly 16 hectares of vines all in the southern part of Saint Joseph, mostly just outside the village of Mauves."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
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.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
