2014 Saint Joseph Rouge “Vieilles Vignes”

Domaine Faury
Discount Eligible $38.00
SOLD OUT
This old-vines cuvée is our own unfiltered blend from Faury’s old hillside vines. Think old-school Saint Joseph. Think Trollat. A lot of bottlings of Côte Rôtie and Hermitage will be humbled by this beauty.
      Dense, dark, deep, complex, and characterful, this red is one to follow over a few years if you can. There is a core of cassis or black currant fruit and smoky bacon fat. The wine ain’t heavy, but it sure is fun to gnaw on. –Kermit Lynch

Where the newsletter started

Every three or four months I would send my clients a cheaply made list of my inventory, but it began to dawn on me that business did not pick up afterwards. It occurred to me that my clientele might not know what Château Grillet is, either. One month in 1974 I had an especially esoteric collection of wines arriving, so I decided to put a short explanation about each wine into my price list, to try and let my clients know what to expect when they uncorked a bottle. The day after I mailed that brochure, people showed up at the shop, and that is how these little propaganda pieces for fine wine were born.—Kermit Lynch
