"Aged 14 months in barrels and demi-muids, the 2015 Saint Joseph L'Olivaie is a rich, opulent, thick Saint Joseph that delivers on all accounts! Crème de cassis, crushed flowers, violets and licorice aromas and flavors all emerge from this hugely concentrated, power-packed 2015 that has a broad, expansive texture, moderate acidity and sweet tannin. This blockbuster wine will benefit from 2-3 years of cellaring and keep for two decades. 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.
