2015 Saint Joseph Rouge “Vieilles Vignes”

Domaine Faury
Discount Eligible $40.00
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.

Inspiring Thirst

I want you to realize once and for all: Even the winemaker does not know what aging is going to do to a new vintage; Robert Parker does not know; I do not know. We all make educated (hopefully) guesses about what the future will bring, but guesses they are. And one of the pleasures of a wine cellar is the opportunity it provides for you to witness the evolution of your various selections. Living wines have ups and downs just as people do, periods of glory and dog days, too. If wine did not remind me of real life, I would not care about it so much.
