2022 Saint-Joseph Rouge
André Perret
I find so much joy and liveliness in the Perrets’ 2022 Saint-Joseph. With notes of red berries, stones, and the faintest hint of brine, this exuberant Syrah is the bottle you should open all summer and fall while you wait for the Grisières below to age a few years.

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.
